Answer:
Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let:
Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x
Mia made score of baskets yesterday = 3x (Mia made three times as many baskets in yesterday’s basketball game as she did last Saturday. three times means multiply 3 with score of Last Saturday baskets, i.e. x)
Total score of baskets = 24
We need to find How many baskets did Mia score last Saturday?
We can write:
Total Score = Score on Last Saturday + Score yesterday
[tex]24=x+3x[/tex]
Solving this equation we can find value of x:
[tex]24=x+3x\\24=4x\\=>4x=24\\x=\frac{24}{4}\\x=6[/tex]
So, we get value of x = 6
Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x = 6
Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.
