Answer: they lost 16 games
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Wins: x + 17
Losses: x
Ties: 3
Total: 52
Wins + Losses + Ties = Total
x + 17 + x + 3 = 52
2x + 20 = 52
2x = 32
x = 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to answering this is to know that the only time you'll change the direction of the sign is when you multiply or divide by a negative number.
-46 - 8x > 22
-8x > 22 + 46
-8x > 68
x < 68/-8 (we divided by -8 so the inequality changed direction)
x < -17/2
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5+4+1 = 10. If you have 4 nickels out of 10 coins, it means there is a 4/10 chance of selecting one, but to simplify, 2 is the greatest common factor, so you would divide each number.
4/2 = 2.
10/2 = 5.
The answer is 2/5.
Answer:
y intercept:(0,-13)
x intercept: (13/5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The way we find intercepts (both x and y) is to plug in zero.
x int:
We set y to 0:
0=5x-13
add thirteen to both sides
13=5x
x=13/5
y int:
set x to zero
y=5(0)-13
y= - 13
