Answer 1

Answer:

First place scored 34 points, 2nd place scored 24 points, and 3rd place scored 12 points

Step-by-step explanation:

34 points is 10 points more than 24 points, and 12 points is half of 24 points. Also, 34+24+12=70.

Booyah! Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = player1

y = player 2

z = player 3

y = 2x  or 1/2 y =x

y = z-10  or z = y+10

x+y+z=70

substitute x= 1/2 y and z = y+10 into the above equation

1/2y + y + y+10 = 70

2.5 y + 10 = 70

subtract 10 from each side

2.5 y = 60

divide by 2.5 on each side

y = 60/2.5

y =24

x = 1/2 y

x = 1/2 *24 = 12

z = y+10 = 24+10 = 34

The three players scored 12, 24, 34
