What I mean about "not fully written" is its impartial. It didn't ask us something like "find how many bracelets she needs to sell"
X = number of singles matches
y = number of doubles mnathes
so we have the equation x + y = 13.......(1)
also
2x + 4y = 38 ...........(2)
(1) and (2) are the required equations
b) Find how many maches are in progress by solivng the above equations:-
x + y = 13 multiply this by -2:-
-2x - 2y = -26
2x + 4y = 38 Adding to removes the terms in x:-
2y = 12
y = 6
so x = 13-6 = 7
So the answer is 6 double matches and 7 singles are in progress.
Answer:
f(x) = -3|x| + 2x - 1
f(-5) = -3|-5| + 2*(-5) - 1
= -3*5 + 2*(-5) - 1
= -15 - 10 - 1
= -26
Hope this helps!
