<span>Two teams are playing basketball. Team 1 scored 3.5 times the number of points per basket. Team 2 scored 8 times the number of points per basket. They would've each scored the same amount of points if Team 1 had scored 54 more points. Solve: 54+3.5x=8x :Write out the equation -3.5x -3.5x :Subtract 3.5x from both sides to isolate the variable 54=4.5x :Simplify /4.5 /4.5 :Divide by 4.5 on both sides 12=x :Answer=12 Next you would find each team's score: 8x= 8(12)= 96 :substitute and solve Each team score is 96 points (Note: Since each team score was equal, you don't have to solve for each team, just one and preferably the easier one, and that is the score that each team scored.) </span>
It’s made up of the 1 dollar coin , .50 cents coin, .25 cents coin, and the .10 cents coin. If you multiply each by 25 you get the exact value , so these coins make it up but there is exactly 25 of each
