What is system of equations?

A group of equations comprising one or more variables is known as a system of equations. The variable mappings that satisfy each component equation, or the points where all of these equations cross, are the solutions of systems of equations.

Given :

Let Kendall score x points, Abdul score y points, Otis score z points.

x + y + z = 45

z = y + 5

x = 3y

Substituting the values :

3y + y + 5 + y = 45

5y = 45 - 5 = 40

y = 8

z = y+ 5 = 8+5 = 13

x= 3y =  3 * 8 = 24

Therefore, Kendall scored 24 points; Abdul scored 8 points and Otis scored 13 points.
