Given:

Jamie and Marshall's team tied Shawna and Wyatt's team for the top team score.

Marshall scores 12 less than Jamie. Shawna scored twice as much as Marshall. Wyatt scored 4 less than Shawna.

To find:

The individual score of each person.

Solution:

Let x be the score of Jamie.

Marshall scores 12 less than Jamie.

Marshall score = x-12

Shawna scored twice as much as Marshall.

Shawna score = 2(x-12)

Wyatt scored 4 less than Shawna.

Wyatt score = 2(x-12)-4

Now,

Score of Jamie and Marshall's team =x+(x-12)

Score of Shawna and Wyatt's team =2(x-12)+2(x-12)-4

Jamie and Marshall's team tied Shawna and Wyatt's team

x+(x-12)=2(x-12)+2(x-12)-4

x+x-12=2x-24+2x-24-4

2x-12=4x-52

Isolate x.

2x-4x=-52+12

-2x=-40

Divide both sides by -2.

x=\dfrac{-40}{-2}

x=20

So, Jamie score = 20

Marshall score = 20-12

                        = 8

Shawna score = 2(20-12)

                        = 2(8)

                        = 16

Wyatt score = 2(20-12)-4

                     = 2(8)-4

                     = 16-4

                     = 12

Therefore, the scores of Jamie, Marshall, Shawna and Wyatt are 20, 8, 16 and 12 respectively.

Tan(x-y) if cscx=13/5 and coty=4/3
ehidna [41]

Answer:

tan(x-y) = -16/63

Step-by-step explanation

Tan(x-y) if cscx=13/5 and coty=4/3

Given

coty = 4

1/tany = 4/3

Cross multiply

tan y = 3/4

Also since cscx = 13/5

1/sinx = 13/5

sinx = 5/13

Since sinx = opp/hyp

opp = 5

hyp = 13

Get the adjacent

hyp² = opp²+adj²

13² = 5²+adj²

adj² = 13² - 5²

adj² = 169 - 25

adj² = 144

adj = 12

cosx = adj/hyp

cosx = 12/13

tanx = sinx/cosx

tanx = (5/13)/(12/13)

tanx = 5/13 * 13/12

tan x = 5/12

tan(x-y) = tanx - tany/1+tanxtany

tan(x-y) = (5/12 - 3/4)/1+(5/12)(3/4)

tan(x-y) = (5-9/12)/1+5/16

tan(x-y) = -4/12/(21/16)

tan(x-y) = -1/3 * 16/21

tan(x-y) = -16/63

How do i solve 5x +100=10x
joja [24]
5x+100=10x
-5x on both sides (10x-5x=5x)
100=5x
divide by 5 on both sides (100/5= 20)
20=x

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

180 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Like you can see in the picture, I like to set up a proportion, so 81 over X and 45 over 100. Then, you can cross multiply, so 81 x 100 = 8100 and then divide, 8100 ÷ 45 = 180, your answer!
