Question

Three football teams scored a total of 256 points for the season. The Robins scored 35 more points than the Jays. Complete the table and write an equation that represents the scenario. A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 has entries Hawks, Jays, Robins. Column 2 has entries j minus 63, j, blank. Which expression represents the Robins’ points? Robins = Which equation represents the scenario?

Answer 1

Given:

• There are three football teams named Hawks, Jays and Robins.
• Three teams scored a total of $256$ points for the season.
• Team "Robins" scored $35$ points more than the team "Jays".
• The points scored by Jays is represented by "$j$".
• The points scored by Hawks is represented the equation "$j-63$".

To find:

The equation that represents the points scored by "Robins" team.

Note: The table as mentioned, is prepared and is attached as the image.

Solution:

• As the Jays team's points is represented by "$j$", and the Hawks team is represented by "$j-63$", it is clear that the Robins team's points should also be mentioned in terms of "$j$".
• And the term "$j-63$" means that the Hawks team scored $63$ points less than the Jays team.

• As per the given data, the team Robins scored $35$ points more than the Jays team.

⇒ The equation that represents the Robins team's scenario is : "$j+35$"

Final Result:

Hence, the blank in the table can be filled with the term "$j+35$".

Note: To calculate the individual points, simple algebraic addition can be done based on the given data. Add all the three equations of points and equate them to the total points. Then, solve for "$j$". This gives the points scored by Jays team. From the answer, calculate the individual points of the other two teams.

Answer 2

Answer:

j+35 and[ j-65] - j [j+35] =235
