Question 398896: . The 1977 Super Bowl was played in
The Rose Bowl in Pasadena. In that football game the
Oakland Raiders scored 18 more points than the Minnesota
Vikings. If the total number of points scored was 46, then
what was the final score for the game?
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = score of Vikings
x+18 = score of Raiders
x + x+18=46
2x+18=46
2x=46-18=28
2x=28
x=14
x+18=32
Check: 14+32=46
The score was 32-14 Raiders
