Na basketball tournament, team a scored 6 more points than 3 times as many points as team b scored. team c scored 45 more points than team b scored. the combined scores for all three teams was 476 points. which statement about the number of points is true?

d. Team C scored 130 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test and got it right.

Step 1: Write down the equation. (3x + 6) + (x + 45) + x = 476.

Step 2: Add like terms. 5x + 51 = 476.

Step 3: Subtract 51 from both sides to isolate the variable. 5x + 51 - 51 = 476 - 51 is converted to 5x = 425.

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5 to find x. You get 85 so x = 85.

After finding x substitute x for 85 and check each statement.

(3 × 85 + 6) equals 261 so a. and b. are wrong.

(85 + 45) equals 130 so c. is wrong. d. is the right answer.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
