Answer:

Tash scores 40 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Rani = R

Layla = L

Tash = T

R = 4L

T = 4L-8

As L + R + T = 100

L + 4L + 4L-8 = 100

Collect like terms

9L - 8 = 100

+ 8 both sides

9L = 108

divide by 9 both sides

L = 108 / 9

L = 12

Now..... T = 4L-8 substitute L with 12

T = 48 - 8

T = 40
