Let x be the number of running plays
Y be the number of
passing plays
Since the total plays is 110
X + y = 110
And total yard is 378
3x + 7y = 378
Using the first equation
X = 110 – y and substitute to the 2nd equation
3(110 – y) + 7y = 378
And solve for y
Y = 12
Substitute to eqution 1
X = 110 – 12 = 98
154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893
Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.
Answer:
successful odds are a and c
To solve a problem like this, we can setup a basic algebraic equation.
52+14=x
66=x
We know this equation is true because 14 years ago, she was 52 so 14 years later, she is 66.
