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:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
a linear function is always in the form y=(f)x=bx+a
That means that there will not be one set answer and the line can be graphed. Your question is an equation, but not a linear one because there is only one set answer which would be 17/2=8.5.
SOLUTION:
As an equation it is:
y - 3x = 5y + 2x
If you are asking for it as a sentence ( I will do it as a written sentence as I unfortunately can't show you the sentence verbally as you had asked ), then it is as you had written in your question so:
Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x
Or you could write is as:
y subtracted by three times x is equivalent to the sum of five times y and two times x.
Essentially, even with the small alterations that you can make to the phrasing and sentence structure, the concepts are the same so you can use one of the above answers or alter it as you please.
Hope this helps! :)
