Question

Joshua is the place kicker for his college football team. Last season he kicked 42 times and never missed. Each field goal scored 3 points, and each extra point scored 1 point, for a total of 86 points.
How many field goals did Joshua kick?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 22 WILL BE YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

3f+e=86 and f+e=42 so we can say:

e=42-f, now using the value for e in the first equation gives us:

3f+42-f=86

2f+42=86

2f=44

f=22

So Joshua kicked 22 field goals.
