Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
loss of 4 yards
-4
loses 10 yards.
-10
gains 12 yards
+12
The expression for the three plays
-4 +(-10) + 12
The sum is
-2
The team needs to gain 10 yards to make a first down and instead they lost 2 yds
Since y = 5x-1, we can fill it into 3x + 3y = -3. First, let's look at relating to a simpler equation. Let's say that x + y = 9 and y = 3 + 5. Now, we can fill it in to get that x + (3 + 5) = 9. Now, we know that 3+5 is 8, so x + 8 = 9. Now, x = 1. Likewise, we can do the same. For 3x + 3y = -3, all we need to do is to switch the y in 3x + 3y = -3 with 5x - 1. So it would become 3x + 3(5x - 1) = -3. Now we distribute to get 3x + 15x - 3 = -3. Now add three to both sides to get 3x + 15x = 0. Now simplify to get 18x = 0. Now we know that x = 0. Now fill x into y = 5x - 1. So y = 5(0) - 1. Now we know that y = -1.
To check fill in the answer to 3x + 3y = -3.
3(0) + 3(-1) = -3
0 + (-3) = -3
0 - 3 = -3
-3 = -3
Now that our check is completed we now know that x is 0 and y is -1.
Answer:
4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
3L /2 = 2/3 cross multiply expressions
9L = 4 divide both sides by 9
L = 4/9
