Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
12x - 6 + 6 = 54 + 6
12x = 60
12/12 = 60/12
X = 5
Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.
Susan made 10 baskets.
Bill made 17 baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.
Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.
Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.
Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that
x = y + 5
Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that
z = 2y - 3
Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that
x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42
4y + 2 = 42
4y = 42 - 2 = 40
y = 40/4 = 10
x = y + 5 = 10 + 5
x = 15
z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3
z = 20 - 3 = 17
