Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Bill’s scores.

Let y be Theo’s scores.

x + y = 90

x² = y

Solve for x in the second equation.

x = √y

Put x as √y in the first equation and solve for y.

√y + y = 90

√y = 90 - y

y = (90 - y)²

y = - y² - 180y - 8100

0 = -y² - 181y - 8100

0 = (-y+81)(y-100)

-y+81=0

y = 81

y - 100 = 0

y = 100

100 does not work if we plug in to check, so y is 81.

y = 81

Put y as 81 in the first equation and solve for x.

x + 81 = 90

x = 9

Bill scored 9 goals and Theo scored 81.
