In a basketball tournament, team A scored 6 more points than 3 times as many points as team B scored. Team C scored 45 more points than team B scored. The combined scores for all three teams was 476 points. Which statement about the number of points is true?

Let team B’s score be x. Then team A scored 3x + 6, and team C scored x + 45. The total gives (3x + 6) + x + (x + 45) = 476, so 5x + 51 = 476 and x = 85. Team C scored 85 + 45 = 130 points, so the true statement is “Team C scored 130 points.”
