Question

Matt scored 8 more points than Ted in the basketball game, and their scores together made up a quarter of the team's total scoring, which was 112. Which equation represents this scenario?
A: 4(8 + x) = 112
B: 4(2x + 8) = 112
C: 112/4 = 8 + x
D: x = 112/(4 x 8)

Answer 1

112/4 = T + T+8

Answer 2

28 = 2T + 8

20 = 2T

T = 10 and M = 18

Answer 3

B...its B... I see it...it BBBB

Answer 4

not looking for a sloution,,,I know the answer is B just don't know why

Answer 5

We know that a total of 112 point were scored; and that M and T totaled together is 1/4 of that total:

112/4 = M + T

We know that M scored 8 more points than T which gives us:

112/4 = T + T + 8

Add the Ts to get:

112/4 = 2T + 8

T is just another name for "x" so we can replace it:

112/4 = (2x + 8)

We multiply both sides by "4" to get rid of the fraction thingy on the LHS:

122 = 4(2x + 8)

Answer 6

and we learn how to type so that everything matches up......
