Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Distribute</em>

3 (−4) = 2 (−2+1)

3 − 12 = 2 (-2x +1)

<em>Distrubute again</em>

3x - 12 = -4x + 2

<em>Add twelve to both sides of the equation</em>

<em>Simpfly</em>

3x = -4x + 14

<em>Add 4x to both sides of the equation</em>

<em>simpfly</em>

7x = 14

<em>Divide both sides of the equation by the same term</em>

<em>Simpfly</em>

x = 2

In a quiz-based program, there are three teams A, B and C. There is a total of five rounds in a game; 20 marks are given for eac

9966 [12]

From the given scenarios, the positions of winning of each team is; Team C came first, Team A came second and Team B came third

<h3>How to find probability of winning?</h3>

From the question, we can derive the following;

Marks gained by team A = 3 × 20 = 60 marks

Marks deducted = 2 × 10 = 20 marks

Hence;

Total marks for Team A = 60 - 20 = 40 marks

Marks gained by team B = 2 × 20 = 40 marks

Marks deducted = 2 × 10 = 20 marks

Hence, total marks of team B = 40 - 20 = 20 marks

Marks gained by team C = 3 × 20 = 60 marks

Marks deducted = 1 × 10 = 10 marks

Hence, total marks of team C = 60 - 10 = 50 marks

Thus, we can conclude that;

Team C came first, Team A came second and Team B came third
