Question

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?

A.
x + y = 60
y = 2x – 375

B.
x + y = 375
y = 2x – 60

C.
x + y = 375
y = 2x + 60

D.
x – y = 375
y = 2x – 60

Answer 1

you called me?

Answer 2

Yeah earlier i need help

Answer 3

okaya

Answer 4

what do you think the answer is?

Answer 5

I think this is B

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

okay Since their added scores are 375, and one is x and the other is y, then you know
x + y = 375.
You can eliminate the 4th choice.

Answer 8

We need to write this as an equation:

"Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s. "

Answer 9

Ok

Answer 10

Now we need to write

"Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s. "

as an equation. We are told Allan's score is y and Dave's score is x.

Let's do that below the statement.

"Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s. "
y's score was 60 less than twice x's

y = 2x - 60

Answer 11

Ok

Answer 12

So i would do 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
