In their last basketball game, becky scored twice as many points as min. together, they scored 42 points. how many points did becky score? 14 points 21 points 22 points 28 points

The answer is 28 to this question

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
 x = points scored by Becky
 y = points scored by Min
 We write the system of equations:
 x + y = 42
 x = 2y
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 28
 y = 14
 
 Becky did score 28 points
