Answer:
Yolanda had the same number of penalties in both games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Both of these penalties can be modeled by a first order equation.
Game of Meteor-Mania:
In a game of Meteor-Mania, each penalty is -5 seconds. So the expression for the total of penalties is:
Tp(n) = -5*n, where n is the number of penalties.
In the game of Meteor-Mania, Yolanda had penalties totaling -25 seconds. So
-25 = -5*n *(-1)
5n = 25
n = 25/5
n = 5
Yolanda had 5 penalties in the game of Meteor-Mania
Game of Cosmic Calamity
In a game of Meteor-Mania, each penalty is -7 seconds. So the expression for the total of penalties is:
Tp(n) = -7*n, where n is the number of penalties.
In the game of Cosmic Calamity, Yolanda had penalties totaling -35 seconds. So
-35 = -7n *(-1)
7n = 35
n = 35/7
n = 5
Yolanda had 5 penalties in the game of Cosmic Calamity
Yolanda had the same number of penalties in both games.
