Answer:
66
Step-by-step explanation:
The team lost n games.
The team won 8 more games than it lost, so it won n + 8.
The total number of games the team played was n + n + 8, or 2n + 8.
The team played a total of 24 games, so
2n + 8 = 24
We now solve for n.
2n + 8 = 24
2n = 16
n = 8 (lost games)
n + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16 (won games)
Answer: The team won 16 games and lost 8 games.
CommentI think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as
10b/(2b + 8)
If that is the case the reciprocal is
(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did.
Put the numerator in the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.
You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.
1/5 + 4/5b
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in
Latex.
Alternate answerIf you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2
The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.
The answerI have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Simply plug in -7 for <em>x</em>:
(-7)² + 7
49 + 7
