Problema Solution
Fred, Tiger, and Nancy play a round of golf together. Their combined score is 223. Fred's score was 3 more than Nancy's, and Tiger's score was 7 more than Fred's. What was each person's score?
Answer provided by our tutors
x= Nancy's score
x+3= Fred's score
x+3+7 or x+10= Tiger's score
x + (x+3) + (x+10)= 222 now you solve for x
3x + 13 = 223
3x= 210
x= 70
Nancy's score was 70, Fred's was 73, and Tiger's was 80
