Answer: 52.85
I really hope this helps!
Brainliest would be appreciated!
Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.
Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.
Simply remember PEMDAS:
P = Parentheses
E = Exponents
M = Multiplication
D = Division
A = Addition
S = Subtraction
You perform these actions from left to right.
However in this case it is not possible for it to equal 60.
X = number of singles matches
y = number of doubles mnathes
so we have the equation x + y = 13.......(1)
also
2x + 4y = 38 ...........(2)
(1) and (2) are the required equations
b) Find how many maches are in progress by solivng the above equations:-
x + y = 13 multiply this by -2:-
-2x - 2y = -26
2x + 4y = 38 Adding to removes the terms in x:-
2y = 12
y = 6
so x = 13-6 = 7
So the answer is 6 double matches and 7 singles are in progress.
