in a football game all of the home team points are from 7 point touchdowns and 3 point field goals. the team scores six times write and solve a system of linear equations fo find th enumbers of touchdowns and field goals that the hom team scores

Respuesta :

The system of Linear equations is; y = 7x + 3(6 - x) and the solution is;

7 scores from touchdowns

15 scores from field goals

Total score of 22

How to solve a system of linear equations?

Let the number of touchdowns be x

Let the total of the home team points be y

Thus, the number of field goals = 6 - x since the team scores 6 times.

Thus, since the home team points are from 7 point touchdowns and 3 point field goals, then it means we have the equation;

y = 7x + 3(6 - x)

where;

7x is scores from touchdowns

3(6 - x) is scores from field goals

Thus;

y = 7x + 18 - 3x

y = 4x + 18

Let's try x = 1 and we have;

7(x) = 7(1) = 7 scores from touchdowns

3(6 - 1) = 15 scores from field goals

y = 4(1) + 18

y = 22
