Answer:
The player with the most runs had a rush of 1,240 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of yards that was rushed by one of two person given their combined run and an extra information.
Firstly, let the person that had the smaller number of rush have a rush of x rushes. The second person has a rush of 4 times the other. This makes a number of 4x rushes
By adding both together, we have a total of 1550 yards
Mathematically, this means that x + 4x = 1550
5x = 1550
x = 1550/5 = 310 rushes
The second player had a rush of 4x and that is 4 * 310 = 1,240 rushes
Yes, that is true, you have to simplify -42/-45 to be able to see if they are equivalant.
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
