In their last game, the school football team scored an equal number of points in each of the first three quarters, then 14points in the fourth quarter. If they scored 44 points in all, how many points did they score in the first quarter?

10 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Points scored in each of the first 3 quarter = x

Total points scored in the first 3 quarter = x + x + x

= 3x

Points scored in the fourth quarter = 14

Total points scored = 44 point

Total points scored = Total points scored in the first 3 quarter + Points scored in the fourth quarter

44 = 3x + 14

Subtract 14 from both sides

44 = 3x + 14

44 - 14 = 3x + 14 - 14

30 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 30/3

= 10

x = 10 points

Points scored in each of the first 3 quarter = x = 10 points

The school football team scored 10 points points in the first quarter
