Basic MathBradley 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
