Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 69 \ \textbf{touchdowns } 11 \ \textbf{field goals } \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Touchdown is 7 points, field goals is 3 points

Let's note a the number of touchdowns and b the number of field goals, we can write

   (1)    a + b = 80

   (2)    7a + 3b = 516

(2) - 3*(1) gives

7a + 3b - 3(a + b) = 516 - 3*80

<=> 7a + 3b -3a - 3b = 516 - 240 = 276

<=> 4a = 276

<=> a=\dfrac{276}{4}=69

And then from (1) b = 80 - 69 = 11

Hope this helps

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal number of hours be represented by variable H;

The two equations will be as follows;

Jack; 40 +30H

Mark; 50 +25H

Next, equate them;

40 + 30H = 50 + 25H

30H - 25H = 50 - 40

5H = 10

H =10/5

H = 2hrs

Therefore, they charge the same amount at 2 hrs.

B.) The amount charged;

Replace the variable H in any of the two equations above with 2 to solve for the amount.

Equation 40+30H = 40 + (30*2)

=40 + 60

= $100
