Complete Question

The lions and the tigers played a football game. The Lions scored three more than three times the number of points the Tigers scored. The total number of points scored by both teams is 31. How many points were scored by each team?

The number of points scored by the Lions = 24

The number of points scored by the Tigers = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points scored by the lion = l

The number of points scored by the tiger = t

The Lions scored three more than three times the number of points the Tigers scored.

l = 3 + 3(t)

The total number of points scored by both teams is 31.

= l + t = 31

3 + 3t + t = 31

4t = 31 - 3

4t = 28

t = 28/4

t = 7 points

Note:

l + t = 31

I = 31 - t

l = 31 - 7

l = 24 points

The number of points scored by the Lions = 24

The number of points scored by the Tigers = 7

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.
