53 baskets were scored at the game. Jimmy scored 5 less than Trent. Trent and Justin scored the same amount. Evan scored ten more baskets than Trent. How many baskets did each boy get? Use algebra.

please help, thanx:)

Answer 1

Let T = the number scored by Trent and Justin.

T - 5 + 2T + T + 10 = 53
4T + 5 = 53
4T = 48
T = 12
