Question

Three golfers, Vijay, Ernie, and Phil, during 5 years had a total of 196 top-10 finishes. Ernie had 11 more top-10 finishes than Phil, Vijay had 14 more top-10 finishes than Phil. Determine the number of top-10 finishes for each golfer.

Can someone explain this to me?
Step-by-Step through the matrix.
and how to set it up on paper to enter it into the matrix.

Answer 1

v + E + P = 196
E = P + 11
V = P + 14

Substitute and solve.

Answer 2

That doesnt help me one bit, i already had that. I dont know what to do after.

Answer 3

You mean you don't know how to solve?

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

V + E + P = 196
(P + 14) + (P + 11) + P = 196
3P + 25 = 196
3P = 171
P = 171/3 = 57

P = 57
E = 57 + 11
V = 57 + 14

Answer 6

I accidentally been putting a 10 instead of 11. cause the way it was worded. lol. Thank you!
