Answer:
Treen scored 196 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are solving for Treen and everyone else is based off of his score, we will let him be "x." So...
Treen = x
Sanjee = 2x ("twice as many as Treen...")
Cole = 2x + 12 ("12 more points than Sanjee" who equals 2x)
All together = 992
So, putting together all that we've gathered, we can make a full equation!
(x) + (2x) + (2x + 12) = 992
We can subtract 12 from both sides and combine every "x" in the same step to get...
5x = 980
The last step is to divide both sides by 5 to get the answer,
x = 196,
and since x is a synonym for Treen, we can say, "Treen scored 196 points."
Hope this helps!
