Andrew scored 7 more goals than sam in a soccer season. If Sam had scored 3 times as many goals, he would havw scored 1 goal more than Andrew. How many goals did each boy score?

Answer 1

3S = A+1

A=7+S

3S = 7+S +1

2S = 8

S = 8/2 = 4 goals for Sam

A= 7+4 = 11 goals for Andrew

if Sam had scored 3 times as many, 3x4 = 12, that would have been one more than Andrew's 11
