y = 2x – 375

B. x + y = 375
y = 2x – 60

C. x + y = 375
y = 2x + 60

Answer:

B. x + y = 375

y = 2x – 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s.

To Find:

What were their scores?

Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Dave’s score and y represents Allan’s score?

Solution :

x repesents Dave’s score

y represents Allan’s score

Since we are given that their combined total score for one game was 375 points

⇒x+y=375 ---1

Now we are given that Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s

⇒y =2x-60---2

Thus x+y=375 and y =2x-60 is a required system of equations.

So, option b is correct.

Now to calculate their scores.

Put value of y from equation 2 in 1

⇒x+(2x-60)=375

⇒3x=375+60

⇒3x=435

⇒x =\frac{435}{3}

⇒x=145

Now put this value of x in equation 1 to get value of y

⇒145+y=375

⇒y=375-145

⇒y=230

Thus Dave's score is 145 and Allan's score is 230

A system of equations is:
B ) 
x + y = 375
x = 2 y - 60
We will solve this system:
2 y - 60 + y = 375
3 y = 435
y = 435 : 3
y = 145
x = 375 - 145
x = 230
Allan`s score was 230 and Dave`s score was 145.

What is the height of an object thrown when time is 6 seconds? Also explain how u got your answer
nevsk [136]

Answer:

946.4\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h(t) ---> the height of an object in meters

t ----> the time in seconds

we have

h(t)=-2.6t^2+40t+800

For t=6 sec

substitute in the quadratic equation  the value of t and solve for h

h(6)=-2.6(6)^2+40(6)+800

h(6)=946.4\ m

Stells [14]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+22) + (x+6) + (x-28) = 180

x + 22 + x + 6 + x - 28 = 180

x + x + x + 22 + 6 - 28 = 180

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}
Olin [163]

Answer:

B {6, 6, 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}

For a given triangle with 3 sides, the sun of the length of any two sides must be greater Than the third side. This can be expressed mathematically as;

Let the side be ;

x, y and z

Then:

x > (y + z) or

y > (x + z) or

z > (x + y)

For A{2,5,9}

(2 + 5) < 9 (does not meet criteria)

For B {6,6,7}

(6 +6) > 7

(7 +6) > 6

Meets all criteria

For C {6,4,2}

(4 +2) is not greater Than 6 (does not meet criteria)

For D {7,8,1}

(7 +1) is not greater Than 8 ( does not meet criteria)
