During one basketball game, Margaret’s team scored 12 baskets worth 2 points each and 3 baskets worth 3 points each. Randy’s team scored 9 baskets worth 2 points each and 7 baskets worth 3 points each. What was the final score of the game?

Explanation
The final score of the game can be calculated by multiplying the number of baskets by their respective point values for both teams and then adding the results together. Margaret's team scored 12 baskets worth 2 points each, which equals 24 points, and 3 baskets worth 3 points each, which equals 9 points. Therefore, Margaret's team scored a total of 33 points. Randy's team scored 9 baskets worth 2 points each, which equals 18 points, and 7 baskets worth 3 points each, which equals 21 points. Therefore, Randy's team scored a total of 39 points. Adding the scores of both teams together, the final score of the game is 33 + 39 = 72.

Explanation
In 2007, there were 3,828,987 people living in Houston, while in 1975 there were 1,358,243 people.

Therefore, there were 2,470,744 more people living in Houston in 2007 than in 1975.
