J =jaylens score

T = trevors score

J = T-25

J+T = 485

Substitute into above equation

(T-25) +T = 485

combine like terms

2T-25 = 485

add 25 to each side

2T = 510

divide by 2

T = 255

Trever scored 255

J = 255 -25

J= 230

Scores : Trever:255 Jaylen:230

The answer is 460 because you have to subtract

If 3a-2b= 8 and a+3b=7 what is the value of 4a+b?

Fittoniya [83]

Step 1: Find the value of one variable in terms of the other.

$a+3b=7\\a=7-3b$

Step 2: Substitute the value you just found for this variable in the other equation.

$3a-2b=8\\3(7-3b)-2b=8\\21-9b-2b=8\\21-11b=8\\21=8+11b\\13=11b\\\frac{13}{11}=b\\ b=1\frac{2}{11}$

Step 3: Use your new value for the second variable to find the first.

$a+3b=7\\a+3(1\frac{2}{11})=7\\a+3\frac{6}{11}=7\\\\a=3\frac{5}{11}$

Now that we know the values for a and b we can find the value of 4a+b.

$4a+b\\4(3\frac{5}{11})+1\frac{2}{11}\\12+\frac{20}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\12+1\frac{9}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\\boxed{15}$

Consider the three points ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 3 , 6 ) . Let ¯ x be the average x-coordinate of these points, and let ¯ y

loris [4]

Answer:

$m=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are: ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 3 , 6 )

The average of x-coordinate will be:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{\text{number of points}}$

1) Finding $(\overline{x},\overline{y})$

Average of the x coordinates:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{1+2+3}{3}$

$\overline{x} = 2$

Average of the y coordinates:

similarly for y

$\overline{y} = \dfrac{3+3+6}{3}$

$\overline{y} = 4$

2) Finding the line through $(\overline{x},\overline{y})$ with slope m.

Given a point and a slope, the equation of a line can be found using:

$(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

in our case this will be

$(y-\overline{y})=m(x-\overline{x})$

$(y-4)=m(x-2)$

$y=mx-2m+4$

this is our equation of the line!

3) Find the squared vertical distances between this line and the three points.

So what we up till now is a line, and three points. We need to find how much further away (only in the y direction) each point is from the line.

Distance from point (1,3)

We know that when x=1, y=3 for the point. But we need to find what does y equal when x=1 for the line?

we'll go back to our equation of the line and use x=1.

$y=m(1)-2m+4$

$y=-m+4$

now we know the two points at x=1: (1,3) and (1,-m+4)

to find the vertical distance we'll subtract the y-coordinates of each point.

$d_1=3-(-m+4)$

$d_1=m-1$

finally, as asked, we'll square the distance

$(d_1)^2=(m-1)^2$

Distance from point (2,3)

we'll do the same as above here:

$y=m(2)-2m+4$

$y=4$

vertical distance between the two points: (2,3) and (2,4)

$d_2=3-4$

$d_2=-1$

squaring:

$(d_2)^2=1$

Distance from point (3,6)

$y=m(3)-2m+4$

$y=m+4$

vertical distance between the two points: (3,6) and (3,m+4)

$d_3=6-(m+4)$

$d_3=2-m$

squaring:

$(d_3)^2=(2-m)^2$

3) Add up all the squared distances, we'll call this value R.

$R=(d_1)^2+(d_2)^2+(d_3)^2$

$R=(m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2$

4) Find the value of m that makes R minimum.

Looking at the equation above, we can tell that R is a function of m:

$R(m)=(m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2$

you can simplify this if you want to. What we're most concerned with is to find the minimum value of R at some value of m. To do that we'll need to derivate R with respect to m. (this is similar to finding the stationary point of a curve)

$\dfrac{d}{dm}\left(R(m)\right)=\dfrac{d}{dm}\left((m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2\right)$
