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.

Answer:

The angle is 35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the two remaining angles must be the same. Set those angles equal to x. Now, we can solve for x by adding those two angles to the third angle and setting equal to 180.

x + x + 110 = 180

2x + 110 = 180

2x = 70

x = 35

The diameter of a circle is 14 inches. Find the circumstance and area use 22/7
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Circumference= 44 in

Area= 154 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{circumference \: of \: circle = 2\pi  r}

Radius

= diameter ÷2

= 14 ÷2

= 7 in

Circumference of circle

= 2( \frac{22}{7} )(7)

= 44 in

\boxed{area \: of \: circle = \pi {r}^{2} }

Area of circle

=  \frac{22}{7} ( {7}^{2} )

= 154 in²
