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.

Perform the operation(s) and write the answer in simplest form.
ss7ja [257]
First do 12-5, which equals 7.  Next, subtract 1/10 from 2/5.  2/5 is the same as 4/10 if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.  4/10-1/10=3/10. Now add 7 and 3/10.  You will get 7 3/10 as the answer, which is letter C.)
