Question

Can someone please tell me what the answer is to the sentence I don't care much about the answer to the problems.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

y=20x+12

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = x + 12

y + x = 52

x = 20

y = 32

Explanation:

Make a system of linear equations using x and y to represent the players on the soccer and field hockey team respectively:

y = x + 12 (this shows how many players are on the hockey team)

y + x = 52 (this shows that there are 52 players total from both teams)

Solve for the variables using either elimination or substitution:

y + x = 52

(x + 12) + x = 52

2x + 12 = 52

2x = 40

x = 20

Then plug x into the first equation:

y = x + 12

y = (20) + 12

y = 20 + 12

y = 32
