In a football tournament, the bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the hornets. the wasps scored 28 more points than the hornets. together the three teams scored 184 points. let x represent the number of points scored by the hornets. complete the steps to solve the equation (3x – 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184. then answer the question. 1. combine like terms. 2. use the subtraction property of equality. 3. use the division property of equality. 4. use the variable to answer the question. how many points did the bees score? points

Explanation:

First, let's prove that the equation is correct.

To create the equation, you translate the verbal statements into algebraic expressions.

Since, it is said that x respresents the number of points scored by the Hornets, that is your variable and all the verbal statements will be translated using x:

a) NUmber of points scored by the Hornets: x

b) The Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets ⇒v3x - 9

c) The Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets ⇒ x + 8

d) Together the three teams scored 184 points ⇒

Which indeed is the given equation: (3x – 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184

Now, complete the steps to show it, in the same order given:

1. Combine like terms.

2. Use the subtraction property of equality.

3. Use the division property of equality. 4.

4. Use the variable to answer the question. How many points did the Bees score?
