In a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets. Together the three teams scored 184 points. Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets
x = 33 Because with the equation (3x-9)+x+(x+28) you just solve for x by subtracting twenty eight and adding 9 to both sides then you get 5x=165 then divide by 5 on both sides and you get x = 33. Hope this helps.
