Question

A home team's score was 102 points. If you doubled the visiting team's score and subtracted 60, you would also have 102 points. What was the visiting team's score.\

A. 81
B. 85
C: 75

Answer 1

If we let x be the visiting team's score, we get
2x - 60 = 102
Adding 60 to both sides of the equation gives us
2x = 162
dividing both sides of this equation by 2 gives us
x = 81
