Answer:
x = 1, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
15x + 3y = 9 (1)
10x + 7y = -4 (2)
3 × (2) - 2 × (1)
3 × (2)
30x + 21y = -12 (3)
2 × (1)
30x + 6y = 18 (4)
(3) - (4)
15y = -30
y = -30 / 15
y = -2
sub y = -2 into (1)
15x + 3y = 9
15x + (3 × -2) = 9
15x - 6 = 9
15x = 9 + 6
15x = 15
x = 15 / 15
x = 1
Since it’s a 10 team league and each team plays with the other team twice then 10+10=20, thus there would be 20 games played
The answer is either: (im making you choose)
-100
or
100
You multiply -10 by itself to get the correct answer
Dont forget about the signs
