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.

Plug in the given values and you'll see its option 2.

x=0 , f(x)  = 0^2 + 1 = 1

x = 1 , f(x) = 1^2 + 1 = 2

x = 2, f(x) = 2^2 + 1 = 5

The solution set to 6 + 2n > 12 is n > 3. Which are correct representations of this solution? Select two options.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The correct representations of this solution are

  • (d) A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. An open circle appears at positive 3. The number line is shaded from positive 3 to negative 5.
  • (e) (3, ∞)

<h3>How to determine the solution set?</h3>

The inequality is given as:

6 + 2n > 12

The solution is given as:

n > 3

When the above inequality is represented as an interval, we have:

(3, ∞)

Also, the inequality symbol > is represented using an open circle.

This means that the number line would use an open circle and the arrow would point right

Hence, the correct representations of this solution are (d) and (e)
