A soccer player gets 2 points for a goal and 1 point for an assist. If the combined number of goals and assists that a player has is 24 , and the total number of points that the player has is 42 , which system of equations can be used to determine the number of goals and assists the player has? Assume g represents the number of goals and A represents the number of assists.
Answer
A
g plus A is equal to 24 2 g plus A is equal to 42
B
g plus A is equal to 42 2 g plus A is equal to 24
C
g plus A is equal to 24 g plus 2 A is equal to 42
D
g plus A is equal to 42 g plus 2 A is equal to 24
Explanation
The combined number of goals and assists is 24, so the first equation is g + A = 24. Each goal is worth 2 points and each assist is worth 1 point, so the total points are 2g + A = 42. Choice A gives both equations correctly.
