You put two tages in the field. The coordinames for target I (6 Points)
The coordinates for target 2 (4 points). See the figure below.
You asked the players to shoot the ball on the targets 4 times. You added that if
they hit one of the targets, they get the target points
Test 1:
Messi shot the ball. His ball followed the path of the equation where x is the target
points:
1 times
3(3x-4)= 24
6.8 (2.3x + 5.7) = 132.6
Test 2:
Ronaldo shot the ball. His ball followed the path of the equation where y is the
target points:
(6y-18) = 12
8.2 (-5) = -16.4
2 times
2 times

Answer 1

Based on the information given, it seems like Messi and Ronaldo were asked to shoot the ball at two targets, target 1 and target 2, and the points they earned would be based on which target they hit.

In Test 1, Messi's first shot followed the equation 3(3x-4) = 24. To determine which target he hit, we need to solve for x. Using algebra, we can simplify the equation to 9x - 12 = 8, and then add 12 to both sides to get 9x = 20. Dividing both sides by 9, we find x = 2.2. Since x represents the number of points earned, this means Messi earned 2.2 points with this shot.

For Messi's second shot, the equation is 6.8 (2.3x + 5.7) = 132.6. To solve for x, we can start by dividing both sides by 6.8 to get 2.3x + 5.7 = 19.5. Subtracting 5.7 from both sides, we find 2.3x = 13.8. Dividing both sides by 2.3, we find x = 6.

In Test 2, Ronaldo's first shot followed the equation (6y-18) = 12. To solve for y, we can add 18 to both sides to get 6y = 30, and then divide both sides by 6 to get y = 5. This means Ronaldo earned 5 points with this shot.

For Ronaldo's second shot, the equation is 8.2 (-5) = -16.4. To solve for y, we need to determine the value of x. Since the equation is just a constant times a negative number, we can simplify it to 8.2 * -5 = -41. This means Ronaldo earned -41 points with this shot.

It's important to note that negative points are not possible in this scenario, as the targets only have positive point values.
