Answer:
9a + 6b and 5c - 3d
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
4a + 7b + 5a - b ← collect like terms
= (4a + 5a) + (7b - b)
= 9a + 6b
(b)
6c + 4d - c - 7d ← collect like terms
= (6c - c) + (4d - 7d)
= 5c - 3d
<span>Each team in the softball league plays each of the other teams exactly once. For every game, there is 2 team playing. The order is not important because A vs B is same as B vs A
So you just need to makes a combination of 2 that have a result of 21. If there is t number of teams, the number of matches would be:
tC2 = t!/2!(t-2)! = 21
</span>t! / (t-2)! = 21 *2
(t)(t-1)= 42
t^2 -t -42=0
(t-7)(t+6)
t=7 ; t=-6
Excluding the minus result, you got 7 teams.
