Please i need help asap lol

A baseball league is holding registration for both a men's league and a women's league. Only a total of 546 players can register, and each team consists of exactly 13 players. If 25 women's teams have already registered, which inequality could be used to find m, the number of men's teams that can register? A. 25(13) + 13m 546 C. 25(13 + 13m) 546

Answer 1

546 - 25 x 13 (divided by) 13

546 - (25 x 13) / 13

Explanation:

25 x 13 = 325

546 - 325 = 221

221 / 13 = 17

17 mens teams can register.

Answer 2

`25(13)+13m\leq 546`

A

Explanation:

Each team can only consists of thirteen players. Therefore, by letting w represent the number of women's teams and m the number of men's teams, the total number of players is represented by the equation:

`13w+13m`

The total number of players cannot surpass 546. In other words, it must be less than or equal to. Therefore:

`13w+13m\leq 546`

We are given that that 25 women's teams have already signed up. To find out the possible number of men's teams that can sign up, we can substitute 25 for w and then solve for m.

Therefore:

`25(13)+13m\leq 546`

In conclusion, the answer is A.
