On a team, 6 girls and 5 boys scored a total of 57 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 6 girls and the number of points scored by the 5 boys is 27. Each girl scored the same number of points and each boy scored the same number of points. Find the number of points scored by each girl and each boy.

The number of points scored by girls = x = 7 points

The number of points scored by boys = y = 3 points

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of points scored by girls = x

The number of points scored by boys = y

On a team, 6 girls and 5 boys scored a total of 57 points.

6 × x + 5 × y = 57

6x + 5y = 57 Equation 1

The difference between the number of points scored by the 6 girls and the number of points scored by the 5 boys is 27.

6x - 5y = 27 Equation 2

6x + 5y = 57 Equation 1

6x - 5y = 27 Equation 2

We Add the Equations together

12x = 84

x = 84/12

x = 7 points

6x + 5y = 57 Equation 1

6(7) + 5y = 57

42 + 5y = 57

5y = 57 - 42

5y = 15

y = 15/5

y = 3 points

Hence:

The number of points scored by girls = x = 7 points

The number of points scored by boys = y = 3 points

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
