Tournament goals

Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain scored 67 goals in the tournament. The Netherlands scored two more goals than Italy, and Spain scored one goal less than Italy. Determine the number of goals.

Final Answer:

h =  24
s =  21
t =  22

Step-by-step explanation:


t+h+s=67
h=2+t
s = t-1

h+s+t = 67
h-t = 2
s-t = -1

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
h+s+t = 67
-s-2t = -65
s-t = -1

Row 3 + Row 2 → Row 3
h+s+t = 67
-s-2t = -65
-3t = -66


t = -66/-3 = 22
s = -65+2t/-1 = -65+2 · 22/-1 = 21
h = 67-s-t = 67-21-22 = 24

h = 24
s = 21
t = 22
