Answer:
[tex]x+15=23[/tex]
Spencer's team attempted 8 goals .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Frank's hockey team attempted 15 more goals than Spencer's team.
Frank's team attempted 23 goals.
To Find: Write and solve an equation that can be used to find how many goals Spencer's team attempted?
Solution :
Let Spencer's team attempted x goals .
Since we are given that Frank's hockey team attempted 15 more goals than Spencer's team.
⇒Frank's hockey team attempted goals = x+15
Now, we are also given that Frank's team attempted 23 goals.
⇒[tex]x+15=23[/tex]
⇒[tex]x=23-15[/tex]
⇒[tex]x=8[/tex]
Thus the Spencer's team attempted 8 goals .
Hence the equation n that can be used to find how many goals Spencer's team attempted is [tex]x+15=23[/tex] and Spencer's team attempted 8 goals .
