Answer:
- red division: 6 teams
- blue division: 5 teams
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.
r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue
4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week
__
Solving by substitution, we have ...
r = b +1
4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r
8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify
8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5
b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7
r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r
There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
The number next to a variable, for example: 5x, is called a coefficient. And all you do is multiply the number with the variable
Answer:
50$
Step-by-step explanation:
i might be wrong but if there aren't any trick questions then i think that it should be 50$
hope this helps!
The answer is 10.2.
Since it's a percentage, you move the decimal two places to the left which gives you 0.12. Then, you multiply that by 85 and you get 10.2.
X=15 and Y=?
X=30 and Y=6
By rule of three
15x6/30 = 3
The answer is Y=3
