Becky =B

Min =M

B =2M and B + M = 42.

(2M) + M= 3M = 42 and so M=42/3=14.

B = 2M so it's 14*2=28


Becky scored 28 points.

Answer:

Becky scored 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Min's score be m.

Becky's score is twice Min's score, so Becky's score is 2m.

Together, Min and Becky scored m + 2m. Together, they scored 42.

That means that m + 2m must equal 42.

m + 2m = 42

3m = 42

m = 14

Min scored 14.

Becky: 2m = 2(14) = 28

Becky scored 28
