Question

Your school's football team scored 49 points. Your team's score was 19 points more than the opponent's score s. Write and solve an equation to find the opponent's score.

Answer 1

39 points

Explanation:

Your school's football team scored 49 points.

Your team's score is 19 points more than the opponents score

The opponent score is represented as S

Since the total points that was scored is 49 and your team score is 19 then the equation can be written as follows

S+ 19= 49

Solve for S

S= 49-19

S= 30

Hence the opponent's score is 30 points
