Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 69 \ \textbf{touchdowns } 11 \ \textbf{field goals } \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Touchdown is 7 points, field goals is 3 points

Let's note a the number of touchdowns and b the number of field goals, we can write

   (1)    a + b = 80

   (2)    7a + 3b = 516

(2) - 3*(1) gives

7a + 3b - 3(a + b) = 516 - 3*80

<=> 7a + 3b -3a - 3b = 516 - 240 = 276

<=> 4a = 276

<=> a=\dfrac{276}{4}=69

And then from (1) b = 80 - 69 = 11

Hope this helps

9 of the students in Sarah's grade like to watch football and 12 like to watch figure skating. 7 students like to watch both foo
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total for football: 9 +7

Total for figure skating: 12 +7

NEW Total for football: 16

NEW Total for figure skating: 19

The question says that 9 people like football

The question says that 12 people like to watch figure skating

The question also says that 7 people like to watch both, and because of that, you should add 7 to both 9 and 12, but keep the new numbers separated from each other. So once we know the sum of 9 +7 is 16, and 12 + 7 is 19, we can subtract the two numbers, and get 3 as the answer. Because you are counting the number of times that you have to travel up or down to the other number, and so if you are on a set of stairs that go up to the 16 level and you are on the 14th level, you need to travel up 2 sets of stairs to get to level 16.

Hope that example helps and can help in the future with other problems!
