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:
Solution : Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equations r² = x² + y², x = r cos(θ), and y = r sin(θ) that can be used to solve this problem. In this case we only need the second two equations ( x = r cos(θ), and y = r sin(θ) ) as we don't need to apply the concept of circles etc here.
Given : x = - 9,
( Substitute r cos(θ) for x )
r cos(θ) = - 9,
r = - 9 / cos(θ)
( Remember that sec is the reciprocal of cos(θ). Substitute sec for 1 / cos(θ) )
r = - 9 sec(θ)
Therefore the third option is the correct solution.
Answer:
x = 8
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The first part is already in squared terms. "19.25 sq ft"
Taking the measurements for the mirror 3ft and 5ft, you'd get: "15 sq ft."
Subtract that answer from the previous number to get "4.25 sq ft.
Hope this helps out a little lol :)</span>
