Question

What is the equations "Jack's bowling score is 20 less than 3 times Jill's score. Thw sum of their scores is 220. Find the score of each?"

Answer 1

a + b = 75
a = 5b+9
or,
a + b = 75
a - 5b = 9
so,
6b = 66
b=11 a=64

jack = 3*jill - 20
jack + jill = 220
or,
jack - 3jill = -20
jack + jill = 220
so,
4jill = 240
jill = 60 jack = 160
