Answer:

Andre scored 14 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

set up expressions with the info given:

Diego's points: a –9

Andre's points: 2d. and

n = 2d

Noah's points = 10

Use the expressions to set up equations to solve.

To find a, Andre's points, we can work backwards.

Substitute the 10 from the last expression for n in the equation n=2d, and solve for d:

10 = 2d. Divide both sides by 2

5 = d

Substitute the value of d, Diego's points, to make an equation using the first expression:

5 = a –9 Add 9 to both sides.

5 + 9 = a a = 14

Andre scored 14 points
