On a team, 7 girls and 6 boys scored a total of 105 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 6 boys is 21. Each girl scored the same number of points and each boy scored the same number of points. (Needs 2 equations) (Write the system)

Each girl scored 9 points

Each boy scored 7 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points each girl scored = a

Let the number of points each boy scored = b

7 girls and 6 boys scored a total of 105 points.

7a + 6b = 105 Equation 1

The difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 6 boys is 21

7a - 6b = 21 Equation 2

7a + 6b = 105 Equation 1

7a - 6b = 21 Equation 2

Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 1

12b = 84

b = 84/12

b = 7

Therefore, each boy scored 7 points

7a + 6b = 105 Equation 1

b = 7

7a+ 6b = 105

7a + 6(7) = 105

7a + 42 = 105

7a = 105 - 42

7a = 63

a = 63/7

a = 9

Therefore, each girl scored 9 points.

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
