Answer 1

s = 49 - 19

s = 30 answer

Answer 2

Opponents team scored 30 points.

Explanation:

My school's football team scored 49 points.

Opponent team score was s.

Score of my team that is 49 points is 19 points more than the opponents score that is s, then the equation representing the scores will be

49 = s + 19

From this equation we can find the value of s

s = 49 - 19

= 30

Therefore, opponents team scored 30 points.
