Maddie scored 2 fewer than triple the number of points Crystal scored in their basketball game. Together the girls scored 30 points. Let
m = the points Maddie scored, and c = the points Crystal scored. Which system can be used to find the number of points each girl
scored?

Respuesta :

The system of equations that is used to find how many points each girl scored is given as follows:

  • m = 3c - 2.
  • c + m = 30.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given as follows:

  • Variable m: number of points scored by Maddie.
  • Variable c: number of points scored by Crystal.

Maddie scored 2 fewer than triple the number of points Crystal scored in their basketball game, hence:

m = 3c - 2.

They scored 30 points in total, hence:

c + m = 30.

Thus, the system is given by:

  • m = 3c - 2.
  • c + m = 30.
