Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team

and the wrestling team at Newberry High School are having a joint car wash today, and they are splitting the revenues. The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. After washing a certain number of cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total. What will that total be? How many cars will that take?

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

The graph shows two lines, A and B.
miss Akunina [59]
Part A: As we have learned when given a pair of equations, we must always find a Point of Intersection....or, in other words...the solution of the lines given to us. As we know there can be one solution, in this case we view the graph; see where they intersect, and realize that the solution to these lines (Point of Intersection) is at (4,4).

Thus, your answer.
