1.42 because you subtract 10 from the price
First, you know that Jackson (let call her J) scored 41 more points than L (Leslie). What we don't know is how many points L scored so we can use a variable that will be 'x'.
So the equation will be
J=41+x.
We also know that the total points is 1,189.
To find out what x is we first subtract
1,189-41. We then get 1,148.
We are now left with 2x and 1,148 so we divide
1,148 by 2 and get 574.
574=x so now we can plug that in.
J= 574+41
Jackson scored 615 points and
Leslie scored 574 points
(You can use bar modeling to do solve this problem. An example of bar modeling is shown below.
Answer: the length is 87 feet
The width is 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the playing field.
Let W represent the width of the playing field.
The playing field is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. This means that
254 = 2(L + W)
L + W = 254/2
L + W = 127 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The length is 47 ft longer than the width. This means that
L = W + 47
Substituting L = W + 47 into equation 1, it becomes
W + 47 + W = 127
2W + 47 = 127
2W = 127 - 47 = 80
W = 80/2 = 40
L = W + 47 = 40 + 47
L = 87
