A minor league plays 101 games,
They win 14 more than twice as many as they lost.
How many wins and loses?
Okay, simple.
First, write a simple addition equation. In this case wins = w and losses = l.
l + w = 101.
Now, we have to figure out a way to make one of the terms the same term as the other, in this case we can change the terms of w to l.
l = l
w = 2l +14 (14 more than twice the amount)
Okay. So plug in the new amount for w.
l + 2l + 14 = 101. Great! we now have a simple equation. lets solve.
put similar terms together.
3l + 14 = 101
3l = 87
l = 29
So, we have 29 loses, and
w = 2(29) + 14
72 wins!
To check,
72 + 29 = 101, correct!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
Answer:
24 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle = bh/2
= (2 * 24)/2
= 24 in
None of these because they all are 0
.67, .6, .6, .583, .58, .58, .58, .5, .5
