Pittsburgh University one the college football championship in 1937 they want again in 1976 how many years were there between championships if they had one championship the same number of years before 1937 what year would that had been

Respuesta :

Answer:

37 years, 1898

Step-by-step explanation:

One championship was in 1937 and the other in 1976. For knowing the year between both championship we just need to see the difference brtween both years, which mathematically is just a subtract:

1976 - 1937 = 39 years

So, there are 39 years between those championship.

If there was another championship 39 years before 1937, we can use the same procedure. Let X be this year, 39 years previous 1937:

1937 - X = 39

If we sum X in both sides:

1937 - X + X = 39 + X

1937 = 39 + X

Now, subtract 39 in both sides:

1937 - 39 = 39 + X - 39

1898 = X

So, the previous championship to 1937 was in 1898
