Answer 1

SOLUTION

GIVEN

Sally and Ella scored 28 goals between them in a netball match.

Sally scored 8 goals more than Ella.

TO DETERMINE

The number of goals Sally and Ella scored individually.

EVALUATION

Let Ella scored x goals

Then Sally scored ( x + 8 ) goals

Total number of goals = x + x + 8 = 2x + 8

Again it is given that Sally and Ella scored 28 goals between them

So by the given condition

2x + 8 = 28

⇒ 2x = 28 - 8

⇒ 2x = 20

⇒ x = 10

FINAL ANSWER

Ella scored 10 goals

Sally scored 18 goals
