The Bees scored 90 points

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

  • <em>Elimination Method</em>
  • <em>Substitution Method</em>
  • <em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<em>Let:</em>

<em>The number of points scored by the Hornets = x</em>

<em>The number of points scored by the Bees = y</em>

<em>The number of points scored by the Wasps = z</em>

/texttt{ }

<em>The Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.</em>

y = 3x - 9

<em>The Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.</em>

z = x + 28

<em>Together the three teams scored 184 points.</em>

y + x + z = 184

(3x - 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184

3x + x + x - 9 + 28 = 184 → <em>1. Combine like terms</em>

5x - 9 + 28 = 184

5x + 19 = 184

5x + 19 - 19 = 184 - 19 → 2<em>. Use the subtraction property of equality</em>

5x = 165

5x \div 5= 165 \div 5 → 3<em>. Use the division property of equality</em>

x = 33

\texttt{ }

y = 3x - 9

y = 3(33) - 9 → <em>4. Use the variable to answer the question</em>

y = 99 - 9

y = 90

\texttt{ }

Answer:

  • <u>The Bees scored 90 points.</u>

Explanation:

First, let's prove that the equation is correct.

To create the equation, you translate the verbal statements into algebraic expressions.

Since, it is said that x respresents the number of points scored by the Hornets, that is your variable and all the verbal statements will be translated using x:

a) NUmber of points scored by the Hornets: x

b) The Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets ⇒v3x - 9

c) The Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets ⇒ x + 8

d) Together the three teams scored 184 points ⇒

 

  • x + (3x - 9) + (x + 28) = 184

Which indeed is the given equation: (3x – 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184

Now, complete the steps to show it, in the same order given:

<u>1. Combine like terms. </u>

  • Remove the parenthesis: x + 3x - 9 + x + 28 = 184

  • Combine the terms on x on the left: x + 3x + x = 5x

  • Combine the constants on the left: - 9 + 28 = 19

  • Write the result: 5x + 19 = 184

<u>2. Use the subtraction property of equality. </u>

  • Subtract 19 from both sides: 5x + 19 - 19 = 184 - 19

  • Due the operations: 5x = 165

<u>3. Use the division property of equality. 4. </u>

  • Divide both sides by 5: (5x / 5) = 165 / 5

  • Due the operations: x = 33

<u>4. Use the variable to answer the question. How many points did the Bees score?</u>

  • The expression for the points scored by the Bees is 3x - 9, so substitute x in that expression: 3 (33) - 9 = 99 - 9 = 90.

  • Answer: the Bees scored 90 points.

WHAT TERM SHOULD BE ADDED TO CREATE A PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL?
boyakko [2]
Answer: We should add the constant 81 to the expression to have a perfect square trinomial.

The perfect square trinomial that would be formed would result from (x + 9)^2.

We can use foil to prove it.

(x + 9)(x + 9)
x^2 + 9x + 9x + 81
x^2 + 18x + 81

81 is the value that must go with 18x in the middle to form the perfect square trinomial.
