In a recent golf match, Becky’s score was 5 less than Cathy’s score. Their combined scores totaled 185. Let b represent Becky's score and c represent Cathy's score.



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



A.
b + c = 5
185 + b = c


B.


b = c – 5
b + c = 185


C.


c = b – 5
b + c = 185


D.


b + c = 185
b – c = 5

Answer 1

Okay. I believe the answer is A.
b=c-5 means Becky's score is Cathy's score minus 5.
b+c=185 means Becky's score plus Cathy's score is equal to 185.
