<span>Two teams are playing basketball. Team 1 scored 3.5 times the number of points per basket. Team 2 scored 8 times the number of points per basket. They would've each scored the same amount of points if Team 1 had scored 54 more points.
Solve:
54+3.5x=8x :Write out the equation
-3.5x -3.5x :Subtract 3.5x from both sides to isolate the variable
54=4.5x :Simplify
/4.5 /4.5 :Divide by 4.5 on both sides
12=x :Answer=12
Next you would find each team's score:
8x= 8(12)= 96 :substitute and solve
Each team score is 96 points
(Note: Since each team score was equal, you don't have to solve for each team, just one and preferably the easier one, and that is the score that each team scored.) </span>
Answer:
There are 9 quarters and 3 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
problems used: 0.5x+0.25y=3.09
x=y+6
so substitute what x is equal to into the problem
0.5(y+6)+0.25y=3.09 <--------- distribute
0.5y+3+0.25y=3.09 <--------- Combine like terms
0.3y+3=3.09 <----------- Subtract 3 on both sided to get y by itself
0.3y=0.9 <------------ Divide by 0.3 on both sides to get what y is equal to
y=3 <-------- now substitute to find what x is equal to
x=3+6
x=9
