So we have
h=hits
m=miss
h+m=10
gain 5 for every hit and lose 3 for every miss
so 5 times number of hit=points from hit
-3 times number of miss=points deducted from miss
add
5h-3m=18
so we have the equations
h+m=10
5h-3m=18
multiply first equation by 3
3h+3m=30
add to first equatio
3h+3m=30
<u>5h-3m=18 +</u>
8h+0m=48
8h=48
divide by 8
h=6
subsitute
h+m=10
6+m=10
subtract 6
m=4
6 hits
4 miss

8• (5+x) < 56
That is the equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
