In a certain dart game, points are awarded for hitting a certain sections of the board. You get 5 points for each hit and lose 3

points for each miss. Each game consists of throwing 10 darts. If one team scores 18 points, how many darts hit the target and how many miss the target?
Use substitution or elimination to solve:

t= dart that hit the target
m= darts that miss the target

t+m=10
5t+3m=18

So we have
h=hits
m=miss
h+m=10

gain 5 for every hit and lose 3 for every miss
so 5 times number of hit=points from hit
-3 times number of miss=points deducted from miss
add
5h-3m=18
so we have the equations

h+m=10
5h-3m=18

multiply first equation by 3
3h+3m=30
add to first equatio

3h+3m=30
<u>5h-3m=18  +</u>
8h+0m=48


8h=48
divide by 8
h=6
subsitute
h+m=10
6+m=10
subtract 6
m=4


6 hits
4 miss

Well look at that! The equations are already set up.

Let t= dart that hit the target
Let m= darts that miss the target

t+m=10 This equation is true because you throw 10 darts in one game.
<span>5t+3m=18  This equation is true because the team got 18 points.
</span>
Now let's use substitution by solving one variable and substituting what the variable equals into the other equation.
t+m=10
m = 10-t
Now substitute 10-t as "m" in the other equation.
5t + 3(10-t) = 18
5t + 30 -3t = 18
2t = -12
t = -6

Now substitute -6 into the equation m=10-t
m = 10 - (-6)
m = 10 + 6 
m = 16

FrozenT [24]
Let's start with 17 seats and just bikes. That is 34 wheeles. Now, each bike we replace with a go-kart will add 2(because we take away 2 and add 4). We need to add 14 wheels. This means we will replace 7 bikes with go-karts. 7 go-karts (28 wheels) and 10 bikes (20 wheels) is the answer.

A circle has a diameter of 15 inches find the circumference and area of this circle
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Circumference: 47.1 inches Area: 176.71 inches ²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the circumference of a circle, you multiply the diameter(15) to pi (3.14).

To find the area of a circle, you find the radius of the circle, which is half of the diameter (7.5), square it, which equals 56.25, multiply that by pi (3.14) and there is your area. Make sure to write your answer to area in square inches.
