The object of the 24 game, created by Robert Sun, is to combine four numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and or

division to get the number 24. For examples the numbers 2,5,5,4 can be combined as 2(5+5)+4= 24. For the algebra edition of the game and the game card shown to the right, the object is to find single digit positive integer value x and y so the four numbers x+y, 3x+2y, 8 and 9 can be combined to make 24. Using the game card, write a system of equations that, when solved, can be used to make 24 from the game card. what is the solution to this system, and how can it be used to make 24 on the game card?

Answer:

  4x +3y = 7; 1 ≤ x ≤ 9; 1 ≤ y ≤ 9

  (x, y) = (1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simply add the numbers, you have ...

  (x+y) +(3x+2y) +8 +9 = 24

This simplifies to ...

  4x +3y = 7

Perhaps the other "equations" in the "system of equations" are the constraint inequalities ...

  • 1 ≤ x ≤ 9
  • 1 ≤ y ≤ 9

The smallest possible value of both x and y is 1, which would satisfy this equation:

  4·1 + 3·1 = 7

Using the expression (x+y) +(3x+2y) +8 +9 = 24, suitable values for x and y are 1 and 1.

_____

We have written one equation, which in this context only has one solution for the two variables. It seems likely that we need to know more about the game card in order to write a system of equations.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer: There are 7 students who want French only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students is planning schedules = 30

Number of students who want to take French = 16

Number of students who want to take Spanish = 16

Number of students want to take Latin = 11

Number of students who take both  French and latin = 5-3 =2

Number of students who take French and Latin and Spanish as well = 3

Number of students who only want Latin = 5

Number of students who only want spanish = 8

According to venn diagram, we get that

a+b+g+f=16\\\\c+d+e+g=11\\\\b+e+f+g=16

So, it becomes,

c+d+e+g=11\\\\5+2+e+3=11\\\\e=11-(5+2+3)=1

Similarly,

b+e+f+g=16\\\\8+1+f+3=16\\\\12+e=16\\\\e=16-12\\\\e=4

Similarly,

a+d+g+f=16\\\\a+2+3+4=16\\\\a=16-(2+3+4)\\\\a=16-9\\\\a=7

Hence, there are 7 students who want French only.

Tems11 [23]

Answer: The answer is (C) cannot be determined.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that Jennifer and James planned to drive from home to the stadium to watch a football match on a rainy day. The distance from home to stadium is 30 miles.

Also, when they reached half the distance, i.e., they covered 15 miles, then they realised that they forgot the tickets, because of which they had to drove back to home and then again to the stadium.

Therefore, the total distance they covered = 15 + 15 + 30 =60 miles, i.e., they had to cover double the distance from home to the stadium.

Finally, it is given that the game was fantastic with final score of 21 to 20. This information has no relation to the original question which was about the distance, not score and we cannot find out score from the given information.

Thus, the correct option is (C) cannot be determined.
