Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
By adding the bottom lines you can get
2x+11 = x+10
Simplifying this gets you
x=-1
Team A: 15 points
Team B: 3 points
Team A has twelve more points than Team B:
A = B + 12
Team A has five times as many points as Team B:
A = B × 5
A = 5B
substitute "A" with "B + 12" to solve for B:
A = 5B
(B + 12) = 5B
B + 12 = 5B
12 = 5B - B
12 = 4B
3 = B
Team B has 3 points
now substitute "B" with 3 to solve for A:
A = 5B
A = 5(3)
A = 15
Team A has 15 points
Check your answer by inputting both values into either equation:
A = 5B
(15) = 5(3)
15 = 15 ✔
A = B + 12
(15) = (3) + 12
15 = 15 ✔
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3b - 2 (1 - b) / a - 2
2. 3(2) - 2 (1 - 2) / 3 - 2
3. 6 - 2 (-1) / 1
4. 6 + 2 / 1
5. 8 / 1
6. 8
