<span>If 3 is added to the number: x + 3
b) ...and the sum is tripled.. 
"The sum" is "x + 3" so: 3(x+3)
c) ...the result is 27 more than the number.
27 more than the number is x + 27 
d) Put it all together:
3(x + 3) = x + 27 
Solve for x: 
1) Distribute the left side of the equation:
3x + 9 = x + 27

2) Subtract x from each side of the equation:
2x + 9 = 27
3) Subtract 9 from each side of the equation:
2x = 18
4) Solve for x:
x = 9 
Check: 
1) x = 9
2) 3(x + 3) = x + 27
3) 3 ([9] + 3) = [9] + 27
4) 3(12) = 9 + 27
5) 36 = 36 

So, therefore The answer is correct</span>

swati won a Computer game that she played with matt. The sum of the scores was 754. The difference of there scores was 176. How
klio [65]

<u>Answer:</u>

Swati - 465 , Matt - 289

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let Swati's score be x and Matt's score be y.

Since Swati won the game her score is obviously higher.

We are given the sum and difference between their scores which we can write as , x + y = 754 and x - y = 176.

Solving these two equations by adding them we get 2x = 930 so x = 465. Substituting x in x - y = 176 we get y = 289

Thus Swati scored 465 points and Matt scored 289 points.
