Answer:

The team needs to win 15 races today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The team has completed 45 races so far and has won 30 so far.

The current success rate is

r = \frac{30}{45} * 100\% = 66.7\%

We need this success rate to be 75%

Then the team must win a number x of races such that

r = \frac{30 + x}{45 + x} = 0.75

Now we solve the equation for x.

\frac{30 + x}{45 + x} = 0.75\\\\30 + x=0.75(45 +x)\\\\30 + x=0.75(45) +0.75x\\\\x- 0.75x = 33.75-30\\\\0.25x = 3.75\\\\x= \frac{3.75}{0.25}\\\\x=15

Finally the team need to win  15 carreras today

What is the solution to the system of equations?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(x, y) = (-3, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation can be used to write an expression for y:

... -5x -21 = y . . . . . . . add y-21 to both sides

This expression can be substituted for y in the first equation:

... 6 = -4x +(-5x -21)

... 27 = -9x . . . . . add 21, collect terms

... -3 = x . . . . . . . divide by -9

Using this value of x in the expression for y, we find ...

... -5(-3) -21 = y = -6

The solution is x = -3, y = -6.
