Answer:

Red = 10 cm, blue = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the length of each red rod be </em><em>r </em><em>and each blue rod be </em><em>b</em>

<u>Then we have:</u>

  • 3r - 2b = 2
  • 3b - 4r = 2

<u>Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:</u>

  • 9r - 6b = 6
  • 6b - 8r = 4

<u>Add the equations to eliminate one of variables:</u>

  • 9r - 8r = 6 + 4
  • r = 10 cm

<u>Find the value of b:</u>

  • 3*10 -2b = 2
  • 30 - 2 = 2b
  • 2b = 28
  • b = 14 cm

Sylvia took three times in a video game she scored -120 points during her first turn 320 points in her second time and -80 point
sp2606 [1]
Her average score for the 3 turns is 40 because you have to add all of the scores so -80 and -120 is -200 so add that to 320 and you get 120 divide that by 3 because she took 3 turns and you get 40
