x/10 + x/4 = 21  /*40

4x + 10x = 840

14x = 840

x = 60 = total number of points the team scored

Answer:

Total number of points in game is 60.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given in the question:

Let x be the total scored in the game.

Contribution of Brian in the game = \displaystyle\frac{x}{10}

Contribution of Joe in the game = \displaystyle\frac{x}{4}

Total contribution of Brian and Joe in the game = 21

According to the question, the following equation can be used to represent the situation:

\displaystyle\frac{x}{10} + \displaystyle\frac{x}{4} = 21

\displaystyle\frac{7x}{20} = 21\\\\ 7x = 20\times 21\\x = 60

Thus, the total score of the game was 60.

5 – 6x = 8x + 17 and simplify <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-6%7D%7B7%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\frac{-6}{7}" al
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x = -6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5 – 6x = 8x + 17

-5                 - 5           Subtract 5 from both sides

-6x = 8x + 12

-8x   - 8x                     Subtract 8x from both sides

-14x = 12                      Divide both sides by -14

x = -12/14                     Simplify

x = -6/7

Help me answer this question about congruent triangles. 50 points available.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

No these triangles are not congruent.

<u>Left triangle</u>

Shortest side = 6 cm

Longest side = 13 cm

3rd side = unknown but < 13

<u>Right triangle</u>

Shortest side = 6 cm

Longest side = unknown but > 13

3rd side = 13 cm

Although the shortest side of both triangles is 6 cm, the longest side of the left triangle is 13 cm, whereas the longest side of the right triangle is unknown but will be more than 13 cm.

We do not know if any of the angles are congruent.  If they were congruent, we would expect to see this marked by the same angle line(s) on each triangle.
