Answer:

x = the first mystery number = 2

y = the second mystery number = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the first mystery number

y = the second mystery number

8*x + 10*y = 24

8x + 10y = 24

7*x + 10*y = 26

7x + 10y = 26

8x + 10y = 24 (1)

7x + 10y = 26 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate y

8x - 7x = 26 - 24

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1)

8x + 10y = 24 (1)

8(2) + 10y = 24

16 + 10y = 24

10y = 24 - 16

10y = 8

y = 8/10

y = 0.8

x = the first mystery number = 2

y = the second mystery number = 0.8

PLEASE HELP!!!! QUESTION IS BELOW
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\boxed{70\°}

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle <em>ABP</em> and angle <em>MAB</em> are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are equal.

Angle <em>ABP</em> = 50 degrees

Angle <em>CBP</em> and angle <em>BCQ</em> are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are equal.

Angle <em>CBP</em> = 20 degrees

Angle <em>ABC</em> is the sum of angles <em>CBP</em> and <em>ABP.</em>

50+20=70

Solve the system y = -x + 7 and y = 0.5(x - 3)2
amid [387]

Answer:

(5, 2 ) and (- 1, 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

y = - x + 7 → (1)

y = 0.5(x - 3)²

   = 0.5(x² - 6x + 9)

y    = 0.5x² - 3x + 4.5 → (2)

Substitute y = - x + 7 into (2)

- x + 7 = 0.5x² - 3x + 4.5 ( subtract - x + 7 from both sides )

0 = 0.5x² - 2x - 2.5 ( multiply through by 2 ) , then

x² - 4x - 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = 5 : y = - 5 + 7 = 2 ⇒ (5, 2 )

x = - 1 : y = -(- 1) + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8 ⇒ (- 1, 8 )

Add the fractions together to find the portion who like basketball, soccer and football.

=21/24

simplify by 3

7/8 is the total for basketball, soccer and football. If 8/8 represents the whole class, then subtract 7/8 from 8/8 to find the number who like baseball.

=8/8 - 7/8
=1/8 of the remainder likes baseball
