Beyonce is solving a system of equations: 2x - 3y = - 2 and 4x + y = 24 She multiplies the second equation by 3 and then adds th

e first equation to find 14x = - 70 showing her that x=5. . Beyonce finds that y=4. Thinking about this process, Beyonce says out loud, " There are lots of ways I could go about solving this problem. I could do the method above or I could multiply the first equation by -2 and add the second . I seem to find that there is only one solution to the two equations but I wonder if I will get the same solution if I use a different method?

Answer:

Yes, Beyonce will get the same solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

2x - 3y = - 2

and

4x + y = 24

If she multiplies the first equation by -2 , she gets,

-4x+6y=4

4x + y = 24

Adding the two equations gives

7y=28

This means y=4

When we put y=4 into the bottom equation we get:

4x+4=24

4x=20

x=5

Therefore Beyonce will still get x=5, and y=4 as solution.

I played 4 video games and had an average score of 10,000 points per game.
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Wilt Chamberlain set the single-game scoring record in the National Basketball Association (NBA) by scoring 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169–147 win over the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, at Hershey Sports Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It is widely considered one of the greatest records in basketball. Chamberlain set five other league records that game including most free throws made, a notable achievement, as he was regarded as a poor free throw shooter. The teams broke the record for most combined points in a game (316). That season, Chamberlain averaged a record 50.4 points per game, and he had broken the NBA single-game scoring record (71) earlier in the season in December with 78 points. The third-year center had already set season scoring records in his first two seasons. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks began fouling other players to keep the ball away from Chamberlain, and they also became deliberate on offense to reduce the number of possessions for Philadelphia. The Warriors countered by committing fouls of their own to get the ball back.

The game was not televised, and no video footage of the game has been recovered; there are only audio recordings of the game's fourth quarter. The NBA was not yet recognized as being a major sports league and struggled to compete against college basketball. The attendance at this game was around half of capacity, and no members of the New York press were at the game.

A linear revenue function is R = 12x. (Assume R is measured in dollars.) what is the slope? What is the revenue received from se
kherson [118]

Answer:

12 ; 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Revenue function, R = 12x

R is in dollars

Now,

The slope can be found out by differentiating the above revenue function w.r.t 'x'

thus,

\frac{\textup{dR}}{\textup{dx}}= \frac{\textup{d(12x)}}{\textup{dx}}

or

slope = 12

Now, for the second case of selling one more unit i.e x = 1, the revenue can be obtained by substituting x = 1 in revenue function

therefore,

R = 12 × 1 = 12 dollars

3/22 + -1/11<br> Add this fraction
Mashcka [7]

You need to use a common denominator. The least common denominator of 11 and 22 is 22.

3/22 + -1/11 = 3/22 + -2/22 = 3/22 - 2/22 = 1/22
