Its like that because the judges deduct points from that score. They can be major or minor deductions.
Answer:
a. (15, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with those two equations:
1) a - 1.2b = -3
2) 0.2b + 0.6a = 12
We'll begin by modifying equation #1 to isolate a:
a = -3 + 1.2b
Then we'll use this value for a in the second equation:
0.2b + 0.6 (-3 + 1.2b) = 12
0.2b - 1.8 + 0.72b = 12
0.92b = 13.8
b = 15
Then we'll place that value of b in the first equation to find a:
a - 1.2 (15) = -3
a - 18 = -3
a = 15
Hi there!
To start, we can use the two points to find the slope using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Just sub in the points and solve!
-0.5-0.5/3-(-3)
-1/6
Sub that into the formula y-mx+b for m, and use one of the points for x and y - solve for b and you get your equation.
y=mx+b
y=-1/6x+b
0.5=-1/6*-3+b
0.5=-0.5+b
0.5+0.5=b
b=1
Therefore your equation is y=-1/6x+1
Hope this helps!
Answer:
(10, - 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 2x + 11 → (1)
y = - 3x + 21 → (2)
Substitute y = - 2x + 11 into (2)
- 2x + 11 = - 3x + 21 ( add 3x to both sides )
x + 11 = 21 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
x = 10
Substitute x = 10 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate fir y
Substituting into (1)
y = - 2(10) + 11 = - 20 + 11 = - 9
solution is (10, - 9 )
