Answer:
- red division: 6 teams
- blue division: 5 teams
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.
r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue
4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week
__
Solving by substitution, we have ...
r = b +1
4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r
8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify
8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5
b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7
r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r
There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
I quickly did this on paper and here is my answer I’m not 100% sure I’m correct but here it is
In 1 hour the boats will be 15 miles apart. In 3 hours the boats will be 45 miles apart.
Hope this helps :D
Answer:
a) m = -6/5
b) m = -5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of parallel lines are the same. The parallel line will have a slope equal to that of the line it is parallel to, -6/5.
__
The slopes of perpendicular lines are the opposite of the reciprocal of one another. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the one it is perpendicular to: -1/m = -1/(6/5) = -5/6.
