Question

Bruce scored 16 goals this season. This is 4 more than three times the number he scored last season. Which equation could be used to find the number of goals Bruce scored last season?
a. 4n - 3 = 16
b. 4n + 3 = 16
c. 3n - 4 = 16
d. 3n + 4 = 16

Answer 1

Answer:

d.) 3n + 4 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

n = # of goals last season

if he scored 16 goals in total that would be the answer to our equation. 4 more we would add 4 to the total problem leaving us with 3 times "the number" meaning we don't know the number so we substitue it for n. making the answer

3n + 4 = 16

Answer 2

I believe the answer is D, please correct me if I am wrong
