Question

The basketball team made some points during the first half of the game. They scored twice as many points in the second half for a total of 60 points. How many points did they score in the second half

Answer 1

Answer:

40 points

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the amount of points scored in the first half x, and the second half 2x, then 3x = 60, or x = 20 points. Since we called the amount of points in the second half 2x, then the amount of points scored in the second half is 40 points.
