6 0

So for this, I will be using the substitution method. Firstly, subtract both sides in the second equation by 2x: 4x+3y=20\\ y=7-2x

Next, substitute y in the first equation with 7-2x, then solve for x from there:

4x+3(7-2x)=20\\ 4x+21-6x=20\\ -2x+21=20\\ -2x=-1\\ x=\frac{1}{2}

Now that we got x, substitute it into either equation to solve for y:

4*\frac{1}{2}+3y=20\\ 2+3y=20\\ 3y=18\\ y=6\\ \\ 2*\frac{1}{2}+y=7\\ 1+y=7\\ y=6

In short, x = 1/2 and y = 6.

A basketball team played 15 games and won 80% of them. If the team expects to play 30 games in all, how many more games must it
emmainna [20.7K]
So 80% of 15 games won equal 12 games won and 3 lost. This is because 15/10 = 1.5 and 1.5 x 8 =12.
For 30, you do the exact same thing but with 90% instead. 30/10 = 3. 3 x 9 = 27.
So they need to have won 27 games to get a 90% winning percentage out of 30 games.
But since the question asks how many MORE games they need to play, it'll be 27-12 = 15.
So they need to win 15 more games to get a 90% winning percentage
