Question

In last week’s basketball game, the Lions scored 6 less than twice what the Bobcats scored. The sum of their scores is 30. How many points did the Lions and the Bobcats score individually?

Answer 1

@Jhannybean a lil more help plz

Answer 2

the lions scored 6 less than twice the bobcats

L = 2B - 6

The sum of both teams is 30

L + B = 30

you now know what 'L' equals....so you can replace 'L' with that in your equation

2B - 6 + B = 30

and solve for B

this will be how many points the Bobcats scored...after you find that...you can find how many points the Lions scored
