20, you just need to substitute the x value in the equation
(-2)2-7(-2)+10=
=20
A= player A runs batted in
b= player B runs batted in= a-13
250= a + b
substitute b= a-13 for b
250= a + (a-13)
combine like terms
250= 2a -13
add 13 to both sides
263= 2a
divide both sides by 2
131.5= a
Substitute a= 131.5 into equation
250= a + b
250= 131.5 + b
subtract 131.5 from both sides
118.5= b
Hope this helps! :)
Hello!
Here is how we solve this question.
We know that 2 shoes = 1 pair
So we subtract 2 from 16 until we reach 0, and count how many times we subtracted.
16-2=14
14-2=12
12-2=10
10-2=8
8-2=6
6-2=4
4-2=2
2-2=0
After we do repeated subtraction we find that Abigail has 8 pairs of shoes!
Hope this helps you with your question.
