Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

When n teams play each other once, the total number of games is n(n-1)/2. Since each team played every other one 3 times, the relationship between number of teams (n) and number of games is ...

  3(n(n-1)/2) = 198

  n(n-1) = 132 = 12·11 . . . . . . multiply by 2/3 and factor

  n = 12 . . . . . . n = -11 is also an extraneous solution to this quadratic equation

12 teams participated in this championship.

Complete the table for the given rule.<br> Rule: y = 6x-4<br> Please help
d1i1m1o1n [39]

y = 6x - 4

Substitute the given x values to solve for y.

x = 1:

y = 6(1) - 4

y = 6 - 4

y = 2

1 = 2

x = 3:

y = 6(3) - 4

y = 18 - 4

y = 14

3 = 14

x = 10:

y = 6(10) - 4

y = 60 - 4

y = 56

10 = 56

x                y

1                 2

3               14

10             56

Answer = $160

Using the formula 100+4n, we need to substitute 15 with n. Therefore making the formula, 100 + 4×15. 4×15 = 60. 60+100= $160.

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring: 15x^2+4x-4=0
joja [24]
We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).

15*-4 = -60

Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.

-6 and 10 will work.

Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.

(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)

Now factor both terms.

5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)

3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.

(3x+2)(5x-2)=0

Now just find the zeros.

3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3

And

5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5

So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5
