Solution:

Duration of time for which a contestant have to speak = 5 minutes (300 Seconds)

Point lost by a contestant for over-speaking that is for more than 5 minutes for each second = 3 points

Point lost by a contestant for speaking less than 5 minutes on each second = 3 points

So, the expression which can determine ,the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds.

⇒Number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds=3 \times\left |x-300 \right |

For, example if a contestant speaks for 290 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |290-300 \right |=3 × 10= 30 Points

If a contestant speaks for 305 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |305-300 \right |=3 × 5= 15 Points

Option (A)= 3 \times\left |x-300 \right | is right choice describing above situation.

6x + 7y = 1<br> 8x – 3y = 25<br> Solve me fast explainly
Elenna [48]

Answer:

{x,y} = {89/37,-71/37}

Step-by-step explanation:

 8x = 3y + 25

 [2]    x = 3y/8 + 25/8

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    6•(3y/8+25/8) + 7y = 1

  [1]    37y/4 = -71/4

  [1]    37y = -71

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

  [1]    37y = - 71

  [1]    y = - 71/37

By now we know this much :

   x = 3y/8+25/8

   y = -71/37

Use the  y  value to solve for  x  

   x = (3/8)(-71/37)+25/8 = 89/37
