Sal scored g goals this season. Ben has scored four times as many goals as Sal. Chun has scored three fewer goals than Ben.

a. 9g - 3

b. 3g - 9

c. g - 4g

d. 3g + 9

Answer:

a. 9g - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Sal scored g number of goals this season . Ben has scored 4 times as many goals as Sal . Chun has scored 3 fewer goals than Ben. There goals can be expressed as follows

Sal's goal = g

Ben's goal = 4(g) = 4 × g = 4g

Chun's goal = 4g - 3

sum of their goals = g + 4g + (4g - 3)

sum of their goals = g + 4g + 4g - 3

sum of their goals = 9g - 3

Answer 2

Sal : g

Ben : 4g

Chun : 4g - 3

Total :
$g + 4g + 4g - 3 = 9g - 3$

Answer is A.
