Answer:
Each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a penalty cost = x points
And a goal gives = y points
Ben makes 7 goals and 2 penalties ending the game with 21 points,
7y - 2x = 21 --------(1)
Alyssa makes 10 goals and 8 penalties ending the game with (-6) points,
10y - 8x = -6
5y - 4x = -3 --------(2)
Equation (1) multiplied by 2, then subtracted from equation (2),
(5y - 4x) - 2(7y - 2x) = -3 - 2(21)
5y - 4x - 14y + 4x = -3 - 42
-9y = -45
y = 5
From equation (1)
7(5) - 2x = 21
35 - 2x = 21
2x = 35 - 21
2x = 14
x = 7
Therefore, each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.

- All angles in a triangle add up to 180°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Set up Equation</u>
x + (x + 65) + 25 = 180
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 2x + 90 = 180
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 2x = 90
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 45
