Bud and frank were playing a game together and together they scored 56 points. Buds score was 8 times higher than franks what are their scores
Let's assume Frank's score is represented by the variable "x". According to the given information, Bud's score is 8 times higher than Frank's score. Therefore, Bud's score would be represented by the expression "8x".
We also know that together they scored 56 points. So, we can set up an equation:
Frank's score + Bud's score = Total score
x + 8x = 56
Combining like terms:
9x = 56
To solve for x (Frank's score), divide both sides of the equation by 9:
x = 56/9
Thus, Frank's score would be approximately 6.222.
To find Bud's score, we can substitute the value of x back into the expression we found earlier:
Bud's score = 8x = 8 * 6.222
So, Bud's score would be approximately 49.778.
Therefore, Frank's score is approximately 6.222 and Bud's score is approximately 49.778.
