Question

Beth wrote a system of equations to determine when a referee will earn the same salary working the East Conference and West Conference games. y = 40x − 25 and y = 35x − 5 (x = total games and y = amount earned) Beth determined that at 135 games, the referee would earn the same salary for each conference game. Is she correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

She is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: substitute

135 into x in both equations

Step 2: Solve the equations. Once you do this you will get y = 5375 for the first one and y = 4720 for the second one, therefore she is incorrect
