Question 1015858: The Fabulous Footballers scored an incredible 55 points at last night’s game. Interestingly, the number of field goals was 1 more than twice the number of touchdowns. The Fabulous Footballers earned 7 points for each touchdown
and 3 points for each field goal.
Which of the following systems of equations models this situation when t represents the number of touchdowns and f represents the number of field goals?
t = 2f + 1 7t + 3f = 55
f = 2t + 1 7t + 3f = 55
t = 2f + 1 3t + 7f = 55
f = 2t + 1 3t + 7f = 55
