Answer:  The approximate values that every player make are,

Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

Alex = 11.43 Baskets

Joan = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Grace made x baskets.

Then According to the question,

Jenny made baskets = 3x

Alexis made basket = x + 6

Joan made basket = x - 4

Tammy made baskets = x

Since,  Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

⇒ 7x = 38

⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286  ≈ 11.43

Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

≈ 1.43

How do you substitute x+y=2 3x+2y=5
Monica [59]
Here's how you solve this.  So, x+y=2, right?  Let's isolate x.  x+y-y=2-y.  x=2-y.  NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y!  3x+2y=5.  3(2-y)+2y=5.  (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5.  6+(-3y)+2y=5.  6+(-y)=5.  6+(-y)-6=5-6.  -y=-1.  -y/-1=-1/-1.  y=1.

So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2.  x+1=2.  x+1-1=2-1.  x=1.  1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation.  3(1)+2(1)=5.  3+2=5.  5=5.  That's correct!

Answer: x=1, y=1
