Divide 72 and 80 by 8 to simplify it and get the ratio
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−6x=5x+22
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
−6x−5x=5x+22−5x
−11x=22
Step 2: Divide both sides by -11.
−11x
−11
=
22
−11
x=−2
Answer:
x = 17 and y = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y.
y = 3 + 2x
xy = 629
substituting y in the second equation we get
x(3+2x) = 629
3x + 2
= 629
2
+ 3x - 629 = 0
Solving a quadratic equation by using its formula:
x = [-3 ±√(9-4(2)(-629)] / 4
x = [-3 ± √5041] / 4
x = [-3 ± 71] / 4
x = 17 and 
Ignore the negative number in x and just use x = 17 in the first equation we get
y = 3 + 2(17) = 37
Answer:
"Team C scored 130 points."
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how many points team B scored.
Team A: 3x + 6
Team B: x
Team C: x + 45
Total: 476 points
476 = (x) + (3x + 6) + (x + 45)
476 = x + 3x + 6 + x + 45
476 = 5x + 51
425 = 5x
x = 85
Team A:
3(85) + 6
= 261 pts
Team B:
= 85 pts
Team C:
(85) + 45
= 130 points
