Answer:

A total of 15 matches were played.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of matches that were played in the chess tournament, knowing that there are 16 participants who face each other in a tournament of direct elimination, the following logical reasoning must be carried out:

In the first round there are 16 players, so being matches between 2 players, there are 8 matches (16/2). In the second round, applying the same reasoning and taking into account that there are only 8 players left, since the others have been eliminated, there are 4 matches (8/2). The same in the semifinals, where there are 2 games (4/2), and finally, the final to a single game.

Therefore, since 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 equals 15, the number of matches played in the tournament is 15.

What is the solution to the system of equations y= -5x + 30 x = 10
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

We have been given the equation:

y=-5x+30

And x=10

Substitute the given x in the given equation we get:

y=-5(10)+30

y=-50+30

On simplification we get:

y=-20

Required solution is:  x= 10 and y=-20

The solution to the system of equation is those points that satisfy the given system of equations.
