In a basketball tournament, Team A scored 5 fewer than twice as many points as Team B. Team C scored 80 more points than Team B.

The combined score for all three teams was 983 points. Write an equation to represent this scenario using the variable b to represent Team B's total points. Translate the scenario.

Answer:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total score of three teams = 983

Since the teams' scores are given in reference to team B's score, let 'b' be the score of team B.

So,

The scores of Team A = (2 * b) - 5

The scores of Team B = b

The scores of Team C = (b + 80)

Thus,

The equation for determining the total points of Team B would be:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

On solving,

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

⇒ 2b + b + b = 983 + 5 - 80

⇒ 4b = 908

⇒ b = 908 ÷ 4

⇒ b = 227

Team B's score = 227

Team A's score = (2 * 227 - 5)

= 449

Team C's score = 227 + 80

= 307

Total ⇒ 449 + 227 + 307 = 983

Hence proved.

Answer:

  2. chord theorem; t = 10.5

  3. chord theorem; x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For both of these problems, the relevant theorem is the "intersecting chord theorem", also referred to as the "chord theorem." It tells you the product of the lengths of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the parts of the other chord.

2. 20t = 10·21

  t = 210/20 . . . . divide by 20

  t = 10.5 . . . . . . . simplify

__

3. 10(x +4) = 15(x +1)

  10x +40 = 15x +15 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  25 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10x+15

  5 = x . . . . . . . divide by 5

The sum eighty two dollars to spend on seven books after buying them she had twelve dollars how much did each book cost
Misha Larkins [42]
So first of all write down 82 / 12 and do the problem.Divide 82 / 12.

Next you get the answer which is,based on a calculator,which is <span>6.83333333333.

But because it's money well I'm guessing it could be 6.83 or 6.833 or the real answer.

The question is confusing but I hope I could help :D</span>
