Answer:
Each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a penalty cost = x points
And a goal gives = y points
Ben makes 7 goals and 2 penalties ending the game with 21 points,
7y - 2x = 21 --------(1)
Alyssa makes 10 goals and 8 penalties ending the game with (-6) points,
10y - 8x = -6
5y - 4x = -3 --------(2)
Equation (1) multiplied by 2, then subtracted from equation (2),
(5y - 4x) - 2(7y - 2x) = -3 - 2(21)
5y - 4x - 14y + 4x = -3 - 42
-9y = -45
y = 5
From equation (1)
7(5) - 2x = 21
35 - 2x = 21
2x = 35 - 21
2x = 14
x = 7
Therefore, each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.
In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
Answer: If you are suppose to write an algebraic expression it is: 5 - 2x = 3x - 5
If you are suppose to solve the answer is:
5-2x=3x-5
-2x=3x-10
-5x=-10
x=2
Answer:
(-√(6-√26) < x < √(6-√26)) ∪ (x < -√(6 +√26)) ∪ (√(6 +√26) < x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using x^2 = z, the equation can be rewritten as ...
z^2 -12z +10 > 0
(z -6)^2 -26 > 0
|z -6| > √26
This resolves to two equations.
This one ...
x^2 -6 < -√26 . . . . substitute x^2 for z
|x| < √(6-√26) . . . . add 6, take the square root; use √a^2 = |a|
-√(6-√26) < x < √(6-√26)
__
and this one ...
x^2 -6 > √26
|x| > √(6 +√26)
x < -√(6 +√26) ∪ √(6 +√26) < x
So, in order, you have to multiply first. 3x3=9, now you have to do 2+2=4. Since there is a "plus" in between "2+2" and "3x3" you have to add, 9+4=13.
