The Bobcats scored 133 points on touchdowns.They scored the rest of their points by kicking field goals worth 3 points each.How many field goals did the Bobcats kick?

Answer:

Bobcats kicked 9 field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of Touchdowns = 23

Points scored in Touchdown = 133

Total points scored = 160

Point for each kicked field goal = 3

We need to find the number of field goals Bobcats kicked.

Solution:

Let the number of kicked field goals be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Total Points Scored is equal to sum of Points scored in Touchdown and number of kicked field goals multiplied by Point for each kicked field goal.

framing in equation form we get;

$133+3x=160$

Now Subtracting both side by 133 we get;

$133+3x-133=160-133\\\\3x=27$

Dividing both side by 3 we get;

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{27}{3}\\\\x=9$

Hence Bobcats kicked 9 field goals.
