Question

Alonzo and Miguel scored a total of 54 points in a basketball game. Miguel scored 4 more points than Alonzo. How would I graph this as a system of equations??

Answer 1

a + m = 54, m = a + 4 and, a + m = 54, - a + m = 4,

Combine the equations: 2m = 58

Now solve: 2m = 58, 2m/2 = 58/2, m = 29, therefore a = 24
