I have no idea where to begin to solve this problem. It doesn't make sense to me. Can someone help me out?
Beach Channel High School’s football team scored one field goal (3 points) and gave up a touchdown (7 points) in the first quarter. In the third quarter, they scored another field goal and have up a safety (2 points). They gave up a final field goal in the fourth quarter. By how much did they lose?

Begin by counting the score of Beach Channel High School:
1st quarter - 3 points (field goal)
3rd quarter - 3 points (field goal)
So Beach Channel scored 6 points
Now count the score of the opponent
1st quarter - 7 points (touchdown)
3rd quarter - 2 points (safety)
4th quarter - 3 points (field goal)
So the opponent scored 12 points.
Now take the difference of the two scores:
12 points - 6 points = 6 points.
So Beach Channel High School lost by 6 points.

BC score: 3 + 3 = 6
Other team score: 7 + 2 + 3 = 12
BC lost by 6

confident you could label the variable x as width and length could properly be x + 12 make an equation 2x + 2(x+12) = 156 because you upload all facets to get perimeter then u clean up for x yielding the respond x = 33 = width x + 12 = 40 5 = length
