Bradley High School was the winner in Saturday's track meet with the help of 20 individual-event placers earning a combined 68 points. A first place finish earns 5 points, a second place finish earns 3 points, and a third place finish earns 1 point. Bradley had a strong second-place showing, with as many second place finishers as first- and third- place finishers combined. If x = # of first-place finishers, y = # second-place finishers, and z = # of third-place finishers which of the following systems represents this scenario? Ox+y+z= 68 5x + 3y +z = 68 Z = x + y Ox+y+z= 20 5x + 3y + z = 68 y=x+z Ox+y+z=20 5x + 3y + z = 68 x = y + z
