PLEASE HELP ME
(kind of in a hurry)


Choose the correct answer.

Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s. What were their scores?

Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Dave’s score and y represents Allan’s score?


x + y = 60
y = 2x – 375

x + y = 375
y = 2x – 60

x + y = 375
y = 2x + 60

x – y = 375
y = 2x – 60

Answer 1

x + y = 375
y = 2x - 60

Answer 2

Answer 3

thanks

Answer 4

yup

Answer 5

i agree

Answer 6

great minds think alike :)

Answer 7

answers could be
x + y = 60
y = 2x – 375
x + y = 375
y = 2x – 60
x + y = 375
y = 2x + 60
x – y = 375
y = 2x – 60

Answer 8

x + y = 375
y = 2x - 60

x + 2x - 60 = 375
3x - 60 = 375
3x = 375 + 60
3x = 435
x = 435/3
x = 145

x + y = 375
145 + y = 375
y = 375 - 145
y = 230

Dave (x) scored 145
Allen (y) scored 230
