Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what a tape diagram is but I can give you the equation and the answer.

Let Victor have x points

Let Maria have y points

y = x + 424

y/x = 5/3                     Cross multiply

3y = 5x                       Divide by 3

y = 5x/3                      I Could have just multiplied by x

y = x + 424

5x/3 = x + 424           Multiply both sides by 3

5x = 3x + 1272           Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x-3x = 1272              Combine the left.

2x = 1272                    Divide by 2

2x/2 = 1272/2

x = 636

Victor Scored 636 points

Maria Scored 636 + 424 = 1060

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Well first we need to change the format of the equations to slope-intercept, or y=mx+b.
So the first one (x + y < 1) will be changed to   y < -x + 1.
The second one (2y ≥ x - 4) will be changed to   y <span>≥ x/2 - 2.
Now we can analyze each graph.
In every single graph the first equation (y < -x + 1) is graphed correctly.
Now for the second equation, we can see that only the first and last graph correctly format to the equation.
Now for the shading:
The first equation shows us that y is less than -x +1, making the shading go under the dotted line. (to the left)
The second equation shows us that y is greater than or equal to x/2 - 2, making the shading go above the line. (also to the left)
Therefore, when we shade, the overlapping shading is correctly formatted in the first graph.
Hope this helped, comment any questions you have for me.</span>

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?
stira [4]
Y= f(x)= ax+b
when x= -1, y= -1
-1= -a+b   | * ( -1)

when x= -3, y=2
2= -3a+b

-3a+b= 2
a -  b=  1
--------------
2a=3
a=3/2   is the slope

Y = 5- 2<br> 1-3x + y = -12<br><br> What is the value of x and y ?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

x=5.333

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

given, y=5-2............(1)

1-3x+y=-12...............(2)

y=5-2=3

put y=3 in equ (2)

1-3x+3=-12

1+3+12=3x

3x=16

x=\frac{16}{3}

x=5.333

hence, x=5.333

           y=3               answer

Ron has 24 coins with a total value of $3.00. The coins are nickels (5 cents) and quarters (25 cents). How many of each coin doe
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Ron has 15 nickels and 9 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where n is the number of nickels and q is the number of quarters he has:

n + q = 24

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -0.25

-0.25n - 0.25q = -6

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Add them together and solve for n:

-0.2n = -3

n = 15

So, Ron has 15 nickels. Find how many quarters he has by subtracting 15 from 24:

24 - 15

= 9

So, Ron has 15 nickels and 9 quarters.
