C= Colorado B= Boston
C + B = 464
C = 1.2B
Substitute the known value of C from the second equation into the first
C + B = 464
(1.2B) + B = 464
2.2B = 464
Divide each side by 2.2
B = 210.9, rounded to 211 (it's asking for days, not partial days, so round)
If Boston has 211 days of sunshine , then Colorado Springs has 1.2 times that amount. 211 * 1.2 = 253.2 (rounded to 253)
Verification
211 + 253 = 464
The formula is (2)(n-4) = n-1/4
Mult both sides by 4:
8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.
If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly. What do you mean by "1/4 less?"
Let's try (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n. Then,
2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8. Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:
n = (5/4)(8) = 10. Is that what you were hoping for?
Paralell has same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
same slope so other equation is
y=4x+b
input given point
(2,0)
x=2
y=0
0=4(2)+b
0=8+b
minus 8 both sides
-8=b
the equation is y=4x-8
Answer: The team's win-loss record that year is 1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
During the 2017 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians played 162 games.
Let x = the number of games that the
Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season.
This means that the number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season would be x + 42.
Total number of games played = sum of games won + sum of games lost. This is expressed as
162 = x + 42 + x
2x + 42 = 162
2x = 162-42 = 120
x = 120/2 = 60
Number of games that the Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60
The number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60 + 42 = 102
The team's win-loss record that year
would be wins/loses
= 102/60 = 1.7
