Terri, Corey and Chris together made 20 baskets in a basketball game. Terry made 5 more than Corey. Chris made 3 times more baskets then Corey. How many baskets did they each have?
Terri's baskets = x
Corey's baskets = y
Chris' baskets = z
x + y + z = 20
x = y + 5
z = 3y
(y+5) + y + 3y = 20
5y = 15
Solve for y and then do the others using formulas you have.
terry corey and chris together made 20 baskets in a basketball game. Terry made 5 more baskets than corey. Chris made 3 times more baskets than Corey. How many baskets did they each have?
terry has 15 baskets,corey has 1 basket,and chris has 4 basket
To find out how many baskets each of them had, let's assign variables to their basket counts.
Let's say Corey made x baskets.
According to the given information:
Terri made 5 more baskets than Corey, so Terri made x + 5 baskets.
Chris made 3 times more baskets than Corey, so Chris made 3x baskets.
Together, they made 20 baskets, so we can write the equation:
x + (x + 5) + 3x = 20
Combining like terms:
5x + 5 = 20
Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:
5x = 15
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 3
So Corey made 3 baskets.
Terri made x + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8 baskets.
Chris made 3x = 3 * 3 = 9 baskets.
Therefore, Corey made 3 baskets, Terri made 8 baskets, and Chris made 9 baskets.
