Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
1x= -1
x= -1
Let x be the number of running plays
Y be the number of
passing plays
Since the total plays is 110
X + y = 110
And total yard is 378
3x + 7y = 378
Using the first equation
X = 110 – y and substitute to the 2nd equation
3(110 – y) + 7y = 378
And solve for y
Y = 12
Substitute to eqution 1
X = 110 – 12 = 98
2.5 Is the answer. It is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 3: 12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
- Combine like terms: 8x - 14 = -6
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 8x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 1
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
- Multiply: 3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: 3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Multiply: -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: -7 + 1 = -6
- Add: -6 = -6
Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.
∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.
First getting x as a numerator rather than a denominator. Then grouping like terms by moving 5 from the left side to the right. Work below:
