touchdowns are six points per touchdown and an extra point can be awarded by making a field goal. Assuming that a team makes a field goal every time they score, write an equation to find "y" the total score for "x" amount of points.

Answer 1

sorry, an extra point is awarded by scoring an "extra point". A field goal is worth 3 points.

At any rate, if they get the extra point after each touchdown, then their score for x touchdowns is

y = 6x + 1x = 7x

Saying the total score for "x" amount of points is dumb. The total score is the amount of points.
