Shelly and Terrence completed x tasks in a game. Terrence's total points were 20 less than Shelly's total. The expression below shows Terrence's total points in the game: 90x − 20 What does the first term of the expression represent?
A. The total points Shelly earned
B. The number of tasks Terrence completed
C. The sum of Shelly's and Terrence's total points
D. The number of tasks Shelly completed

The correct option is;

A. The total points Shelly earned

Step-by-step explanation:

The given details are;

The number of tasks completed by Shelly and Terrence in the game = x

The total points scored by Terrence = 20 less than the total point scored by Shelly

The expression for Terrence's total point is 90·x - 20

Let the total points Shelly earned = Y

Therefore since the total points scored by Terrence = 20 less than the total point scored by Shelly, we have;

The total points scored by Terrence = Y - 20

Comparing the two expressions for the total points scored by Terrence which are;

90·x - 20 and Y - 20 we have;

90·x - 20 = Y - 20

Adding 20 to both sides of the equation gives;

90·x - 20 + 20= Y - 20 + 20

Which gives;

90·x = Y

Therefore, the first term of the expression 90·x - 20, which is 90·x is equal to Y, which is the total points Shelly earned

The correct option is therefore the total points Shelly earned.
