Problema Solution
After a round of golf, Keegan's score was 2 strokes more than four times Brennan's score. If their combined score was -18, what was each player's score?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = Keegan's score
y = Brennan's score
Keegan's score was 2 strokes more than four times Brennan's score:
x = y + 2
their combined score was -18:
x + y = -18
by solving the system of equations:
x = y + 2
x + y = -18
we find:
x = -8
y = -10
