Answer:
No, she couldn't have scored only two goals because that would mean Kenny scored six and 2 + 6 does not equal 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of goals Carrie scored
Let 3x = Number of goals Kenny scored (three times Carrie)
Now we set up an equation showing that they both scored a sum of 12 goals.
3x + x = 12
Combine like terms
4x = 12
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate variable x
x = 12/4
x = 3
Carrie scored 3 goals. So your answer is no.
