touchdowns are six points per touchdown and an extra point can be awarded by making a field goal. Assuming that a team makes a field goal every time they score, write an equation to find "y" the total score for "x" amount of points.
sorry, an extra point is awarded by scoring an "extra point". A field goal is worth 3 points.
At any rate, if they get the extra point after each touchdown, then their score for x touchdowns is
y = 6x + 1x = 7x
Saying the total score for "x" amount of points is dumb. The total score is the amount of points.
To find the total score for a given number of points, we can use the equation:
y = 6x + x/10
In this equation, "x" represents the number of touchdowns and "y" represents the total score.
Explanation:
- Each touchdown is worth 6 points, so we multiply the number of touchdowns (x) by 6: 6x.
- An extra point can be awarded by making a field goal. Since a field goal is worth 1 point, we divide the number of touchdowns (x) by 10 to calculate the number of extra points: x/10.
- Therefore, the equation to find the total score (y) is 6x + x/10.
