Answer:

  • red division: 6 teams
  • blue division: 5 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.

  r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue

  4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week

__

Solving by substitution, we have ...

  r = b +1

  4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r

  8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify

  8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5

  b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7

  r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r

There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.

What is the measure of the arc from A to B that does not pass through C?
sergeinik [125]

Applying the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of the arc from A to B is: 100 degrees.

<h3>What is the Inscribed Angle Theorem?</h3>

The inscribed angle theorem states that an inscribed angle in a circle is half the central angle.

Angle BAC = 40 degrees, so, central angle = 80 degrees. Arc BC would also be 80 degrees.

Measure of arc AC through point B = 180 degrees.

Arc AB = 180 - 80 = 100 degrees.
