Question

In a recent golf match, Desmond's score was 3 less than George's score. Their combined scores totaled 187. Which of the following pairs of equations can be used to determine their scores? Let d represent Desmond's score and g represent George's score.



d + g = 187
d - g = 3


d = g - 3
d + g = 187


g = d - 3
d + g = 187


d + g = 3
187 + d = g

Answer 1

Desmond's score was 3 less than George's score.

d = g - 3

Their combined scores totaled 187

d+g=187

option 2.
