Alexandria High School scored 37 points in a football game. Six points are awarded for each touchdown. After each touchdown, the team can earn one point for the extra kick or two points for a 2-point conversion. The team scored one fewer 2-point conversions than extra kicks. The team scored 10 times during the game. How many touchdowns were made during the game?

Five touchdowns were made in the game

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of touchdowns made during the game.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of touch downs be x

So the total points earned through touchdowns is 6 * x = 6x

The number of scores is 10 times

Let the number of extra kick be y which means that the number of conversions will be (y-1)

So the total number of score times will be ;

x + y + y-1 = 10

x + 2y = 11 •••••••••(i)

Now let’s work with points

Touch down points = 6 * x = 6x

Points from extra kick = 1 * y = y

Points from 2-point conversions = 2(y-1) = 2y - 2

So;

6x + y + 2y -2 = 37

6x + 3y = 37 + 2

6x + 3y = 39

divide through by 3

2x + y = 13 •••••••(ii)

So now solve simultaneously

From ii, y = 13 - 2x

Put this into i

x + 2(13-2x) = 11

x + 26 - 4x = 11

x -4x = 11-26

-3x = -15

x = -15/-3

x = 5

There are five touchdowns in the game

step-by-step explanation:

because there are always 10 numbers in a phone number.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
