Answer:

Each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a penalty cost = x points

And a goal gives = y points

Ben makes 7 goals and 2 penalties ending the game with 21 points,

7y - 2x = 21 --------(1)

Alyssa makes 10 goals and 8 penalties ending the game with (-6) points,

10y - 8x = -6

5y - 4x = -3 --------(2)

Equation (1) multiplied by 2, then subtracted from equation (2),

(5y - 4x) - 2(7y - 2x) = -3 - 2(21)

5y - 4x - 14y + 4x = -3 - 42

-9y = -45

y = 5

From equation (1)

7(5) - 2x = 21

35 - 2x = 21

2x = 35 - 21

2x = 14

x = 7

Therefore, each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.

Plz show work <br> 2(x+5)=26
Zolol [24]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(x + 5) = 26

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Distribute 2:</u> 2x + 10 = 26

<u>Subtract 10 on both sides:</u> 2x = 16

<u>Divide both sides by 2:</u> x = 8

How can the average rate of change be identified for a function?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Rateofchange=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are values in the interval [x,y] respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first to determine the average rate of change of a function, you should have the interval of the values of x for the function.

So lets assume you have a function;

f(x)=x^3-4x

And the interval as [1,3]

Then the average rate of change for the function f(x) will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are the interval coordinates x,y respectively. In this case x₁=1 and x₂=3

To find the average rate of change in this example will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} \\\\=f(x_2)=f(3)=3^3-4(3)=27-12=15\\\\=f(x_1)=f(1)=1^3-4(1)=1-4=-3\\\\\\=x_2-x_1=3-1=2\\\\\\=\frac{15--3}{2} \\\\=\frac{18}{2} =9
