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.

Please help me with this math problem, urgent please
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

y = -3.5x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Your slope-intercept equation is always y = mx + b

Using this formula, we need to find slope first: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Step 1: Find slope

m = (1-8) / (4-2)

m = -7/2

Step 2: Plug in into slope-intercept form

y = -3.5x + b

Step 3: Find <em>b </em>(Plug in a coordinate given)

1 = -3.5(4) + b

1 = -14 + b

b = 15

Step 4: Combine it all together

y = -3.5x + 15

And you have your final answer.

1. Find the area of the polygon
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

1. A = 40 units²

2. A = 72 units²

3. B) 45

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  This shape comprises 4 congruent triangles with base of 5 units and height of 5 units.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Therefore, area of polygon = 4(1/2 x 5 x 4)

                                             = 40 units²

2.  This shape comprises two pairs of congruent triangles.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Therefore, area of polygon = 2(1/2 x 2 x 6) + 2(1/2 x 10 x 6)

                                             = 72 units²

3.  Count the number of shaded squares:

9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45 units²
