At a two-hour basketball practice, Tracy can either choose to run miles, which take six minutes per mile, or play scrimmage game

s, which take 30 minutes per game. If Tracy cannot run more than five miles in any given practice, which system of inequalities describes the feasible number of miles she can run (m) and the number of scrimmages she can play (s) in a given practice?

Answer:

See the image attachment. It shows the three inequalities

6m+30s \le 120

0 \le m \le 5

s \ge 0

the inequalities are all stacked on each other with a large curly brace written off to the left

===========================================

Explanation:

Let,

m = number of miles Tracy runs

s = number of scrimmage games Tracy plays

m and s are integers

-------

Each mile takes 6 minutes, so running m miles takes up a total of 6m minutes.

Each scrimmage game takes 30 minutes, so in total she uses up 30s minutes of time if the number of games she plays is 's'.

In total, Tracy uses up 6m+30s minutes running and playing scrimmage games. The max time allotted for her is 2 hours or 120 minutes. Therefore, 6m+30s \le 120 is one inequality that makes up the system of inequalities.

-------

We know that 'm' is positive, and we also know that m cannot get larger than 5, so we can write 0 \le m \le 5. This says "m is between 0 and 5 including both endpoints".

-------

For similar reasons in the last section above, we also know that 's' is positive as well; however we have no upper bound restrictions on 's'. So we simply say s \ge 0

-------

Overall, the system of inequalities has these three inequalities:

6m+30s \le 120

0 \le m \le 5

s \ge 0

they are all stacked on each other and written with a large curly brace to the left hand side of this stack. The large curly brace is just a way of keeping things together in a group or collection so to speak. A paired right curly brace is not included.

A visual reference of the answer is attached as an image below, just so you can see what I mean by the large curly brace.

When using inverse operations, what should you do to solve y - 7 = 10?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a SUBTRACTION symbol in the problem. So, you will do the opposite, & ADD the 2 available numbers in the equation. 10+7=17

When you replace that y with 17, the equation is correct.

Find both unit rates. 1435 points scored in 25 games + Brainliest!!
kozerog [31]
In this case, the unit is points (1,435) and the time is games (25). So, we divide the unit by the rate to get the unit rate of 57.5.

On the flip side, we can treat the game as the unit and the points as the rate to get 0.017 games per point.
