Question

HELP!!!

In a recent golf match, Tigers score was 4 less than Phils score. Their combined scores totaled 140. Let p represent Phil's score and t represent Tiger's score.

Which pair of equations can be used to determine their scores?

A. p + t = 140
p - t = 4

B. p + t = 140
p + t = 4

C. p + 140 = t
p = 4

D. p - t = 140
p + t = 4

Answer 1

so p is phil's score and t is tigers score. Phil's score (p) was 4 less than tigers score (t) which creates p = t - 4 additionally the sum of the scores = 140 so you have p+t = 140
