Question

The Browns scored 13 more points than the Saints. The total of

their scores was 47. How many points did each team score?

Answer 1

30 , 17

Explanation:

browns have x + 13

saints have y

x+13 + x+y = 47

2x = 34

x=17

17 + y = 47

y=30

Answer 2

Saints team scores points = 17

Browns team scores point = 30

Explanation:

Let Saints team scores points = x

Browns team scores point = y

As given,

The Browns scored 13 more points than the Saints.

⇒ y = x + 13

Now, given

The total of their scores was 47.

⇒ x + y = 47

⇒x + x + 13 = 47

⇒ 2x = 47 - 13

⇒2x = 34

⇒x=
`(34)/(2)` = 17

∴ we get

Saints team scores points = x = 17

Browns team scores point = y = x + 13 = 17 + 13 = 30
