This season, Lisa's lacrosse team has won $\frac 23$ of their home games (games played at Lisa's school), but just $\frac 25$ of

their away games (games played at other schools). In total, Lisa's team has won $26$ games out of $49$ games they have played. How many home games has Lisa's team played? Explain how you solved the problem.

The team has played 24 home games.

Let h be the number of home games and a be the number of away games.  The total number of games is 49; this gives us
h+a=49

They won 2/3 of the home games and 2/5 of the away games; there were 26 games won.  This gives us
2/3h + 2/5a = 26

In the first equation we isolate h by subtracting a from both sides:
h+a-a=49-a
h=49-a

Substitute this into the second equation:
2/3(49-a)+2/5a = 26

Using the distributive property, we have
2/3*49 - 2/3*a + 2/5a = 26
98/3 - 2/3a + 2/5a = 26

Finding a common denominator to combine like terms, we have
98/3 - 10/15a + 6/15a = 26
98/3 - 4/15a = 26

We want to convert the whole number to thirds as well; 26 = 26*3/3 = 78/3:
98/3 - 4/15a = 78/3

Subtracting 98/3 from both sides:
98/3 - 4/15a - 98/3 = 78/3 - 98/3
-4/15a = -20/3

Divide both sides by -4/15:
a = -20/3 ÷ -4/15
a = -20/3 × - 15/4 = 300/12 = 25

There were 25 away games.

This means there were 49-25 = 24 home games.

Use the rule (x,y) (3x,2y) to find the image for the preimage defined by the given points.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: The points of the images are  (9,10), (15,6), (6,4)  and the image is not a rigid motion because the shape changes in side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it gives you the scale factor then find they coordinates by multiplying the coordinates by the scare factor.

A(3,5) → (3*3,5*2) → (9,10)

B( 5,3) → (5*3, 3*2) → (15,6)

C ( 2,3)→ (2*3, 2*2)→ ( 6,4)

Does the quadratic have a maximum or minimum
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

B)max/ opens down

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola equation:

The equation of a parabola has the following format:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

If a > 0, that is, x² is multiplied by a positive number, the function has a minimum value and the parabola opens up.

If a < 0, that is, x² is multiplied by a negative number, the function has a maximum value and the parabola opens down.

In this question:

y = -x^2 - 2x + 3

From the graph, we already see that it opens down and has a max, and analitically, since a = -1 < 0, this is confirmed. The correct answer is given by option b.

What is the value of x? º
attashe74 [19]
X equals 62 because you take 147 and subtract it from 180 and that gives you 33.
then you add 33 and 85 together to give you 118.  Then you subtract 118 from 180 and that gives you 62.
x=62

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method. y=2+1/4x,
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: (4,3)


Step-by-step explanation:

1. In this method you must solve one of the equation for one of the variables and substitute it into the other equation to find the other variable. Then, substitute the value of that variable into one of the original equation to obtain the value of the other one.

2 You have that:

y=2+1/4x

3. Then, you can substitute it into the other equation and solve for x:

3x-5(2+1/4x)=-3\\3x-10-5/4x=-3\\7/4x=7\\x=4

4. Now you can obtain y:

y=2+1/4x

y=2+1/4(4)\\y=3

5. The answer is:

(4,3)
