Question 293166: Player 1 tied for most goals scored. Player 2 scored 7 less than player 1. Both players scored 75 goals. How many did each player score? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If both scored 75 goals then they each scored 75 goals. Is this a trick question?
Or do you mean together they scored a total of 75 goals?
a=b+7
a+b=75
a-b=7
add #2 and #3
2a=82
a=41
b=34
