Answer:
10 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Points scored in each of the first 3 quarter = x
Total points scored in the first 3 quarter = x + x + x
= 3x
Points scored in the fourth quarter = 14
Total points scored = 44 point
Total points scored = Total points scored in the first 3 quarter + Points scored in the fourth quarter
44 = 3x + 14
Subtract 14 from both sides
44 = 3x + 14
44 - 14 = 3x + 14 - 14
30 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
x = 30/3
= 10
x = 10 points
Points scored in each of the first 3 quarter = x = 10 points
The school football team scored 10 points points in the first quarter
