4 1/5 + b = 9 3/5
4 1/5 - 4 1/5 + b = 9 3/5 - 4 1/5
(taking the same amount from each side to keep it balanced)
0 + b = 5 2/5
(subtracting 4 1/5 from each side)
b = 5 2/5
x = player1
y = player 2
z = player 3
y = 2x or 1/2 y =x
y = z-10 or z = y+10
x+y+z=70
substitute x= 1/2 y and z = y+10 into the above equation
1/2y + y + y+10 = 70
2.5 y + 10 = 70
subtract 10 from each side
2.5 y = 60
divide by 2.5 on each side
y = 60/2.5
y =24
x = 1/2 y
x = 1/2 *24 = 12
z = y+10 = 24+10 = 34
The three players scored 12, 24, 34
C: 2/5 inches is your answer
if 2 inches are 60 miles then 12 miles is a fifth of 2 inches.
<span>length = 7x
</span><span>width = 2x
2(7x + 2x) = 72
7x + 2x = 72/2
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4
</span>
width = 2x = 2 * 4 = 8 units<span>
