The team has played 24 home games.
Let h be the number of home games and a be the number of away games.  The total number of games is 49; this gives ush+a=49
They won 2/3 of the home games and 2/5 of the away games; there were 26 games won.  This gives us2/3h + 2/5a = 26
In the first equation we isolate h by subtracting a from both sides:h+a-a=49-ah=49-a
Substitute this into the second equation:2/3(49-a)+2/5a = 26
Using the distributive property, we have2/3*49 - 2/3*a + 2/5a = 2698/3 - 2/3a + 2/5a = 26
Finding a common denominator to combine like terms, we have98/3 - 10/15a + 6/15a = 2698/3 - 4/15a = 26
We want to convert the whole number to thirds as well; 26 = 26*3/3 = 78/3:98/3 - 4/15a = 78/3
Subtracting 98/3 from both sides:98/3 - 4/15a - 98/3 = 78/3 - 98/3-4/15a = -20/3
Divide both sides by -4/15:a = -20/3 ÷ -4/15a = -20/3 × - 15/4 = 300/12 = 25
There were 25 away games.
This means there were 49-25 = 24 home games.

What’s the angle of cda
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

∠ CDA = 32.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the given figure attached to this answer.

Draw perpendiculars from B and C on AD which is BE and CF.

Now, Δ ABE is a right triangle and AE² = AB² - BE² = 7.5² - 6² = 20.25

⇒ AE = 4.5 cm

Now, DF = AD - EF - AE = 24 - 10 - 4.5 = 9.5 cm {Since BC = EF}

And CF = BE = 6 cm.

Now, Δ CFD is a right triangle and  

\tan \beta  =\frac{CF}{FD} = \frac{6}{9.5}  = 0.6315 {Where β = ∠ CDA}

⇒ \beta  = \tan^{-1} (0.6315)=32.27 Degree.

So, ∠ CDA = 32.3° {Correct to one decimal place} (Answer)

Joe's Painting charges $100 plus $20 per hour to paint the exterior of your home. Steve's Painting charges $120 plus $15 per hou
Tanzania [10]

Joe's Painting: 20x + 100 = y

Steve's Painting: 15x + 120 = y

x = hours worked

y = total income

We can find when the two equations intersect by making them equal to each other. That means we put an equal sign in the middle. So, it would look something like this:

20x + 100 = 15x + 120

First, we have to move the 100 by subtracting it from both sides.

20x = 15x + 120 - (100)

20x = 15x + 20

Then, we need to move the 15x by subtracting it from both sides.

20 - (15x) = 20

5x = 20

Lastly, we need to divide 5 from both sides.

5x = 20/5

x = 4

Therefore, Joe and Steve would have to work for 4 hours in order for their models to be equal to each other.
