Answer:

the first player ran 310 yards,

the second player ran 1240 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

first running back= a

second = b

1st condition,

a + b = 1550 ......(1)

2nd condition,

4a = b .......(2)

Solving by substitution method,

Substituting (2) in (1),

a + 4a = 1550

5a = 1550

a = 1550/5

a = 310 .......(3)

Substituting (3) in (2),

we get,

4(310) = b

b = 1240

So,

the first player ran 310 yards,

the second player ran 1240 yards

Answer: Wait a minute, Is the answer is 144 cubic centimetres?

Step-by-step explanation: So this is the given formula volumebox = width x length x height. Measure any two sides (length, width or height) of an object or surface in order to get a two-dimensional measurement, then multiply the width, length, and the height: 12*6*2=144 cm^3.

What does n mean in -10(n-5)=40
sergejj [24]
Distribute -10
-10n - 50 = 40
Add 50 to both sides
-50 + 50 would cancel
- 50 + 40 = -10
Divide by -10
-10/-10 = 1

Estimate the value of this expression by rounding each number to the nearest unit
Alina [70]
So rounding to the nearest unit means replacing the number and taking the closest integer it is to. For example 0.96 is 1, and 5.45 is 5. So doing this in this prob. is 1 × 10 × 5, or 50.
