Question

During the 2005 football​ season, Team Tackle beat Team Sack by

31 points. If their combined scores totaled
65​, find the individual team scores

Answer 1

Team Tackle scored 31 points more than Team Sack so if we take 31 away from 65 then we have 34. We then divide that by 2 for each teams score for 17 for each team. We add 31 back to Team Tackles score and we get 48 so the scores were 48 to 17
