<h3>
Answer: a < 14 (Choice B)</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Add 4 to both sides
a-4 < 10
a-4+4 < 10+4
a < 14
The reason why we add 4 to both sides is to undo the "minus 4" that's happening to the variable.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we must simply solve for x. To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.
Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:
3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
3*-x + 3*(2x + 1) = x - 1
-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1
3x + 3 = x - 1
2x = -4
x = -2
Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:
3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1
3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3
3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3
3{-1} ?= -3
-3 == -3
Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.
Cheers.
Answer: The team won 100 games and losses 28 games
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of games won denoted by x and the games lost is denoted by y .
Given : A minor league baseball team plays 128 games in a season.
Team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost.
Then, the system of equations, we have
We can rewrite equation (2) as 
Now, Eliminate equation (3) from (1), we get
Substitute the value of y in (2), we get
Hence, the team won 100 games and losses 28 games.
