Answer:

No, he did not score 3,

Because, 2 times of 5 is 10 and the sum of 10 and 5 is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the score of Skylar,

Since, Wyatt scored 2 times as many goals as Skylar.

So, Wyatt's score = 2x

Thus, total scores = x + 2x = 3x

According to the question,

3x = 15

x = 5

Hence, Skyler have scored 5 goals.

Because, 2 times of 5 is 10 and the sum of 10 and 5 is 15.
