28 teachers prefer mint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of teachers = 98

Ratio of teacher that prefer rocky road to mint = 5:2

Let,

x be the original number.

Teachers who like rocky road = 5x

Teachers who like mint = 2x

5x+2x=98\\7x=98

Dividing both sides by 7

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{98}{7}\\x=14

Teachers who prefer mint = 2x = 2(14) = 28

28 teachers prefer mint.

In a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points
Elina [12.6K]

Given:

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

To find:

The required equation for this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets.

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Bees score = 3x-9

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Wasps score = x+28

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

(3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184

Therefore, the required equation is (3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184.
