A minor league plays 101 games,
They win 14 more than twice as many as they lost.
How many wins and loses?
Okay, simple.
First, write a simple addition equation. In this case wins = w and losses = l.
l + w = 101.
Now, we have to figure out a way to make one of the terms the same term as the other, in this case we can change the terms of w to l.
l = l
w = 2l +14 (14 more than twice the amount)
Okay. So plug in the new amount for w.
l + 2l + 14 = 101. Great! we now have a simple equation. lets solve.
put similar terms together.
3l + 14 = 101
3l = 87
l = 29
So, we have 29 loses, and
w = 2(29) + 14
72 wins!
To check,
72 + 29 = 101, correct!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
y= -2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because the y intercept is at negative 3 and the rise over run is down 1 over 2
The dimensions of the carton are:
10 x 10 x 10 [inch OR unit cubes - it's the same since cubes' dimensions are 1 x 1 x 1 inch)
I attach the explanation below.
128 pencils divided by 6 pencils that can be put in a box; 128÷6=21 with a remainder of 3
Martin needs 3 more pencils for the last box, beacuse he has 3 leftovers and 6 can go into the box. 6-3=3
<h3>Given Equation:</h3>
x = 7 + 3y
or, x - 3y - 7 = 0 ........ (i)
5x + 6y = 14
or, 5x + 6y - 14 = 0 .........(ii)
<h3>To Find:</h3>
The value of x and y.
<h3>Solution:</h3>
By dividing eq. ii by 2, we get
5/2x + 3y - 7 = 0 ........ (iii)
By adding eq. i and eq. iii, we get
15/2x = 0
or, <u>x = 0</u> ........(iv)
By putting eq.(iv) in eq. (i), we get
0 - 3y - 7 = 0
or, -3y = 7
or, <u>y = </u><u>-</u><u>7/</u><u>3</u>
<h2>Answer: ( 0, -7/3 )</h2>
The value of x and y is 0 and -7/3 respectively.
