Question

Maria and Rizal entered a competition as a team Rizal's score was 1/3of Maria's score
Maria scored 46 more points than Rizal. How many points did Maria score?

Answer 1

Answer:

Maria 69       Rizal    23

Step-by-step explanation:

M =Maria

(1/3)M = Rizal

                  M-46= (1/3)M

Multiply  both sides by 3 to eliminate fraction

3M-138 =M

138=2M

69= M   (Maria =69)

 69/3= 23

69-46=23
