Answer:

Ricky had 1199 hits.

Pedro had 1482 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>State your variables</u>

let "p" be the number of Pedro's base hits

let "r" be the number of Ricky's base hits

<u>Create equations</u> using information from the problem

p + r = 2681         [1]

p = r + 283          [2]

<u>Substitute equation [2] in equation [1]</u> replacing 'p'

p + r = 2681

r + 283 + r = 2681

<u>Combine like terms</u> to simplify

2r + 283 = 2681

<u>Isolate '"r"</u> to solve for Ricky's base hits.

2r + 283 - 283 = 2681 - 283            Subtract 283 on both sides

2r = 2398        

2r/2 = 2398/2               Divide both sides by 2

r = 1199              Number of Ricky's hits

Substitute r = 1199 into any equation to find "p". I will use [2].

p = r + 283

p = 1199 + 283         Add

p = 1482              Number of Pedro's hits

Therefore Ricky had 1199 hits and Pedro had 1482 hits.

X2 - 7x + 9 =0 please leave answer in surf form and simplify ​
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

x = \frac{7}{2} ± \frac{\sqrt{13} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 7x + 9 = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x² - 7x = - 9

Solve using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2( - \frac{7}{2} )x + \frac{49}{4} = - 9 +

(x - \frac{7}{2} )² = \frac{13}{4} ( take the square root of both sides )

x - \frac{7}{2} = ± \sqrt{\frac{13}{4} } = ± \frac{\sqrt{13} }{2} ( add

x = \frac{7}{2} ± \frac{\sqrt{13} }{2} = \frac{7+/-\sqrt{13} }{2}

Solve the polynomial inequation and graph the solution set on a number line. Express the solution in interval notation.
kirill [66]
Solving a polynomial inequation

Solving the following inequation:

(x - 8) (x + 1) > 0

We are going to find the sign both parts of the multiplication,

(x - 8) and (x + 1), have when

x < - 8

-8 < x < 1

1 < x

Then we know (x - 8) (x + 1) > 0 whenever (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive

We can see in the figure (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive when x < -8 and x > 1

Then
