There are 60 players on football team that are not seniors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Given

Total students = 84

Also given that

2 out of 7 are seniors

Which is 2/7

So in order to find the total number of seniors we will multiply the whole number of students to 2/7

$Senior\ students = \frac{2}{7} * 84\\= 24$

So there are 24 seniors on the football team.

Players that are not seniors = 84 - 24 = 60

There are 60 players who are not seniors.

Method 2:

We can divide the total number by 7, to get how many sets of 7 players will be there

= 84/7 = 12

Now,

Multiplying 12 with 2 will give us the number of seniors in football team.

12*2 = 24 seniors

So,

Not seniors =84-24 = 60

Answer:

(4,12)

(-1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - y = 4

y = 3x

Use substitution. Substitute 3x for y in the first equation

x^2 - (3x) = 4

x^2 -3x =4

Subtract 4 from each side

x^2 -3x -4 = 4-4

x^2 -3x-4 =0

Factor

(x-4) (x+1) =0

Using the zero product property

x-4 =0 x+1 =0

x=4 x=-1

Now to find y for each x solution

x=4

y =3x = 3(4) =12

(4,12)

x=-1

y =3x = 3(-1) =-3

(-1,-3)

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for this problem is

Area = 1/2 base x Height

step 1) plug in what we know

5 = 1/2 base(5)

step 2) switch sides

1/2 base x 5 = 5

step 3) divide both sides by 1/2 x 5

$\frac{1/2 base( 5)}{1/2(5)}$ = $\frac{5}{1/2(5)}$

step 4) Simplify

$\frac{1/2 base (5)}{1/2 (5)}: b$

step 5) Simplify

$\frac{5}{1/2(5)}: 2$

step 6) now you have gotten the answer x = 2
