1 answer:
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Given:
- total score is 63
- field goals score 3
- touchdowns score 7
Find:
- a linear equation representing the relationships given
- a graph of that equation
- combinations of field goals and touchdowns that give the score
Solution:
1. see above for what is given
2. <em>Touchdowns and field goals can be represented by variables</em>. In the attachment, field goals are represented by x, and touchdowns are represented by y.
The score value of a field goal is 3, so the total score from x field goals can be written as the term 3x.
Likewise, the total score from y touchdowns can be written as the term 7y.
__
The equation of interest is then ...
3x + 7y = 63
The graph of it, and its integer solutions, is attached.
Possible combinations of (field goals, touchdowns) are ...
(0, 9), (7, 6), (14, 3), (21, 0)

This is a units conversion problem: you have time and you want to convert that to money. Any units conversion problem involves multiplication by 1 in various forms. When you are given 7.5 min = 1 bottle = 500g, you know that (500 g)/(7.5 min) = 1 because the numerator and denominator are equal. (Of course, you are aware that 500 g = 0.500 kg.) The idea is to choose the forms of 1 that cause units you don't want to cancel, leaving only the units you do want.
