(GB)+(GB-25)=45
solve for GB
Your answer is 10
To find Green Bay's final score, we need to subtract the point difference from the total points scored in the game. The point difference can be calculated by dividing the total points scored by both teams by the number of teams playing.
Given that the total points scored in the game were 45 and the point difference was 25, we can use the formula:
Point Difference = Total Points Scored / Number of Teams
Since there were 2 teams playing in the Super Bowl, the number of teams is 2.
Point Difference = 45 / 2 = 22.5
However, a team cannot have fractional points in a game, so we need to round the point difference to the nearest whole number. In this case, 22.5 would be rounded down to 22.
Now, we can calculate Green Bay's final score by subtracting the point difference from the total points:
Green Bay's Final Score = Total Points Scored - Point Difference
= 45 - 22
= 23
Therefore, Green Bay's final score in the first Super Bowl was 23.
