Option C
The football team had a overall loss of 2 yards
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
When the team gains yards we use a positive value, and when the team loses yards we use a negative value.
<em><u>Given that, football team gains 2 yards on the first play</u></em>
First play = +2
<em><u>Given that football team loses 5 yards on the second play</u></em>
Second play = -5
<em><u>Given that football team loses 3 yards on the third play</u></em>
Third play = -3
<em><u>Given that football team gains 4 yards on the fourth play</u></em>
Fourth play = +4
Put the yards from four plays together, we get
⇒ 2 -5 -3 + 4
Let us simplify
⇒ -3 -3 + 4 = -6 + 4 = -2
So, -2 represents loss of two yards (since negative value indicates loss)
Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
