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
