Relax. Take deep breaths. Feel the fresh air flowing down to your toes.
It's only some lame math. It can't scare you, because you have a brain
and you know how to use it.
You need to find the Patriots' score. You don't know what it is yet, so
let's give it a label. I've got a brilliant idea ! Let's call it 'P' !
What do we know ?
We know that the Patriots won the game, so we know that the Giants'
score was less than 'P'.
How much less was it ? The question tells us that the difference in
their scores was 20. So the Giants scored P-20 in the game.
What else do we know ? The question tells us the sum of the scores.
OK. Let's addum up:
Patriots' score: P
Giants' score: P - 20
Sum of the scores: P + (P - 20) = 2P - 20
The question tells us that their sum was 44.
OK. 2P - 20 = 44
That's an equation. Solve it for 'P' and you'll have the answer.
Add 20 to each side: 2P = 64
Divide each side by 2: P = 32
There you are. The Patriots scored 32.
The Giants scored 20 less ... (32 - 20) = 12.
The sum of their scores was (32 + 12) = 44.
Everything checks out.
The slope, if you have a graph, is the angle the line is going down so look at this graph:
I can’t explain it perfectly because I don’t know
But x = 20
Answer:
$14.00
Step-by-step explanation:
30% less than 100% of the regular price is 70% of the regular price.

0.70 · $20.00 = $14.00
Answer:
(0, 33) : Yes
(4.8, 30.5) : Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
height of at least 24 ft : y >= 24
horizontal distance of no more than 10 ft. : 0 <= x <= 10
The vertical height must be at least three times as high as the horizontal distance. No rocket should go higher than 33 ft.:
y >= 3x and y <= 33
So Constraints:
24 <= y <= 33
y >= 3x
0 <= x <= 10
Now check to see if those coordinate points meet all the constraints
(0, 33) : Yes
(4.8, 30.5) : Yes
(9, 26) : No (because 26 is less than (3 * 9) = 27)
(4, 36)
: No (because 36 > 33, must be 24 <= y <= 33)
(2, 22): No (because 22 <24, must be 24 <= y <= 33)
