let x be the number of assists
y be the number of goals scored
x+y =63............1
He scored 17 fewer goals than assist.
y=x-17
x-y =17................2
Add 1 & 2
2x= 80
x =40
40 assists and
63-40 = 23 goals
Answer by greenestamps(13215) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = # of goals
Then x+17 = # of assists
At 1 point each for both goals and assists, his point total was 63:
x+(x+17) = 63
2x+17 = 63
2x = 63-17 = 46
x = 46/2 = 23
# of goals: x = 23
# of assists: x+17 = 40
ANSWER: 40 assists
