X = number of singles matches
y = number of doubles mnathes
so we have the equation x + y = 13.......(1)
also
2x + 4y = 38 ...........(2)
(1) and (2) are the required equations
b) Find how many maches are in progress by solivng the above equations:-
x + y = 13 multiply this by -2:-
-2x - 2y = -26
2x + 4y = 38 Adding to removes the terms in x:-
2y = 12
y = 6
so x = 13-6 = 7
So the answer is 6 double matches and 7 singles are in progress.
I hope this helps have a good day
Answer: 100 times greater
Step-by-step explanation:
(B) - Yes, because the amount owed changes by 2.25 every time the miles change by 1.
Starting at 1 mile the price is 2.5 dollars.
Mile 2 is 4.75 dollars. What is the difference between 4.75 and 2.5? 2.25
Mile 3 is 7 dollars. What is the difference between 7 and 4.75? 2.25
Mile 4 is 9.25 dollars. What is the difference between 9.25 and 7? 2.25
Mule 5 is 11.5 dollars. What is the difference between 11.5 and 9.25? 2.25
The change is always 2.25 dollars.
The change is 2.25 dollars per mile.
One way to solve for this is (11.5 - 2.5)/(5-1)=2.25
This is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). By picking 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) you can solve for the slope (rate of change) between them.
In -2^2 since the negative sign is not in parentheses you would solve it as 2×2=4 and then have the negative sign so it would be -4. With the parentheses you are saying that the term you are squaring is (-2) and two negatives make a positive so it would be (-2)×(-2)= 4.
