Question

Aimee, Natasha and Ruby play hockey.

Aimee has scored 6 more goals than Natasha.
Ruby has scored 5 more goals than Aimee.
If altogether they have scored 35 goals, how many goals did they each score?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the Natasha's goal is = x

Aimee's goal is = x+6

Ruby's goal is = x+6+5 =x+11

Total goals = 35

Aq,

x+x+6+x+11 = 35

= 3x +17 = 35

= 3x = 35-17

= 3x = 18

= x = 18/3

= x = 6

So, they each score is 6 goals
