Question

Derek Jeter Scored G goals, A assists, and P points in hials NHL Career. By definition, his points are the sum of the goals and assists. He scored 50 more goals than assists. Had he scored 15 more goals and 15 more assists, he would have scored 1200 points. How many goals, assists, and points did Derek Jeter score?

Answer 1

Assuming that he made x assists, then the number of goals were x+50,
Had he scored 15 more goals and 15 more points he would have attained 1200 points.
Therefore, assists will be x+15 and the goals will be x + 65, 
Hence, (x+ 15) + (x+65) = 1200
        = 2x + 80 =1200
             2x = 1120
               x = 560 
Therefore, Derek had, 560 assists, 610 goals and a total of 1170 points
