Answer:
0.90
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m doing the unit test
5x + 8y = -29
7x - 2y = -67 ..... multiply both sides by 4
5x + 8y = -29
28x - 8y = -268
33x + 0y = -297
x = -9
(-9, 2)
Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- 3x + 50 = 6x - 10 (Vertically opposite angles)
Simplify the equation to find x.
<u>Add 10 both sides.</u>
- 3x + 50 = 6x - 10
- => 3x + 50 + 10 = 6x - 10 + 10
- => 3x + 60 = 6x
<u>Subtract 3x both sides.</u>
- 3x + 60 = 6x
- => 3x - 3x + 60 = 6x - 3x
- => 60 = 3x
<u>Divide 3 both sides.</u>
- 60 = 3x
- => 60/3 = 3x/3
- => x = 20
