The team lost n games.

The team won 8 more games than it lost, so it won n + 8.

The total number of games the team played was n + n + 8, or 2n + 8.

The team played a total of 24 games, so

2n + 8 = 24

We now solve for n.

2n + 8 = 24

2n = 16

n = 8 (lost games)

n + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16 (won games)

Answer: The team won 16 games and lost 8 games.

Write the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that contains the points (-1,-2) and (1,2)
Bad White [126]
Slope intercept is y=mx+b
m=slope
slope if found by
m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
(x,y)
(-1,-2) and
(1,2)
x1=-1
y1=-2
x2=1
y2=2


m=(-1-1)/(-2-2)
m=-2/-4
m=1/2


y=1/2x+b
solve fo by subsituting one x value
(1,2)
x=1
y=2
2=1/2(1)+b
2=1/2+b
subtract 1/2
3/2=b


equation is
y=1/2x+3/2

1.) You are one of five people who have been hired to mow the lawn at the local college. Each week, the dimensions of the plot y
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1a)  Length = 7x + 3  & Width = 4x - 2

1b)  Area = 28x^2 -2x -6

1c)  Area = 2774 sq. m

2.  (x-4)(y+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

1a)

The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"

The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"

The expression for length would be  7x + 3

The expression for width would be 4x - 2

1b)

The area is length * width

Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:

Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6

Area = 28x^2 -2x -6

1c)

Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:

28x^2 -2x -6\\=28(10)^2 -2(10) -6\\=2774

Area = 2774 sq. m

2.

We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:

xy-4y+7x-28\\(xy-4y)+(7x-28)\\y(x-4)+7(x-4)\\(x-4)(y+7)

That's the factored form.
