Given

we have

Squaring both sides, we have

And finally

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.
So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

and you'll have

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

and you'll have

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

Which is clearly false

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.
Answer:
-5-3i
Step-by-step explanation:
3-8= -5
-5-(-)2i
-5+2i=-3i
PART1:
First Combination:
Pizza ($7) + Chicken Strips ($6) + Biscuits ($3) + Grapes ($4) = $20
Second Combination:
Dog Food ($13) + Bread ($3) + Crackers ($2) + Broccoli ($2) = $20
Third Combination:
Shampoo ($4) + Tissues ($3) + Pizza ($7) + Eggs ($3) + Biscuits ($3) = $20
PART 2:
First Combination:
$7.20 + $5.70 + $2.90 + $3.70 = $19.60
No, I wouldn’t have gone over the limit
Second Combination:
$13.40 + $3.50 + $2.00 + $1.90 = $20.80
Yes, I would have gone over the limit
Third Combination:
$3.50 + $2.60 + $7.20 + $2.50 + $2.90 = $18.70
No, I wouldn’t have gone over the limit
Hope this helps!!
