Carrie and kenny both play soccer. kenny scored 3 times as many goals as carrie. together they scored 12 goals. could carrie have scored 2 goals?

i need figuring this out step by step

No, she couldn't have scored only two goals because that would mean Kenny scored six and 2 + 6 does not equal 12.

Hope this helps!

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
