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.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Different type of real numbers include natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, irrational numbers, and rational numbers. Natural numbers are the set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4...) also known as counting numbers. Whole numbers are natural numbers including zero (0, 1, 2, 3, 4...). Integers are the set of whole numbers and their opposites (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...). Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Their decimal expansions are nonending and nonrepeating. An example of an irrational number is pi (3.14). A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction. It includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals. An example of a rational number is the number 214.

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 3/4 and passes through the point (2,1)?
ValentinkaMS [17]
The general equation of a line is:
\frac{y- y_{1}}{x- x_{1}} =m
When m is the gradient and x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the points on the line
Therefore:
\frac{y-1}{x-2}=3/4
4y-4=3x-6
4y=3x-2
