FULL QUESTION:

The highest scorer of the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 149 more points than Tina Harner, her teammate. Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1563 points. How many points did each player score during the championship?

Let T = points scored by Tina Harner

J = points scored by Tina Harner

She scored 149 more points than Tina Harner, her teammate. This means;

J = T + 149...........(i)

Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1563 points. This means;

J + T = 1563 .........(ii)

How many points did each player score during the championship?

We have to find T and J.

Substitute value of J from eqn (i) into eqn (ii)

T + 149 + T = 1563

2T = 1563 - 149 = 1414

T = 1414 / 2 = 707

J = 707 + 149 = 856

Jessica Bradley - 856 Points

Tina Harner - 707 Points

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories.

vampirchik [111]

◆ Define the variables:

Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b

◆ Form the equations:

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:

a + 2b = 774

Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories

2a + b = 786

◆ Solve the equations:

From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b

Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie

◆ Find caloric content:

Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie

Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie

The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains poi

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option D</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

y = 2x + 4

comparing with the above equation for a line

The slope / m = 2

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 2

So we have

The equation of the line using point

( 3 , -2) and slope 2 is

y + 2 = 2( x - 3)

y + 2 = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6 - 2

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

One number added to three times another number is 24. Five times the first number added to three times to other number is 36. Fi

Marrrta [24]

The numbers are 3 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Then according to given statement

One number added to three times another number is 24

x+3y=24 Eqn 1

Five times the first number added to three times to other number is 36

5x+3y=36 Eqn 2

Subtracting Equation 1 from equation 2

$5x+3y-(x+3y)=36-24\\5x+3y-x-3y=12\\4x=12$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{12}{4}\\x=3$

Putting x=3 in equation 1

$3+3y=24\\3y=24-3\\3y=21$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{21}{3}\\y=7$

Hence,

The numbers are 3 and 7
