Alexandria High School scored 37 points in a football game. Six points are awarded for each touchdown. After each
touchdown, the team can earn one point for the extra kick or two points for a 2-point conversion. The team scored one
fewer 2-point conversions than extra kicks. The team scored 10 times during the game. How many touchdowns were
made during the game? Write and solve a system of equations to get your answer.
Answer:
Five touchdowns were made in the game
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the number of touchdowns made during the game.
We proceed as follows;
Let the number of touch downs be x
So the total points earned through touchdowns is 6 * x = 6x
The number of scores is 10 times
Let the number of extra kick be y which means that the number of conversions will be (y-1)
So the total number of score times will be ;
x + y + y-1 = 10
x + 2y = 11 •••••••••(i)
Now let’s work with points
Touch down points = 6 * x = 6x
Points from extra kick = 1 * y = y
Points from 2-point conversions = 2(y-1) = 2y - 2
So;
6x + y + 2y -2 = 37
6x + 3y = 37 + 2
6x + 3y = 39
divide through by 3
2x + y = 13 •••••••(ii)
So now solve simultaneously
From ii, y = 13 - 2x
Put this into i
x + 2(13-2x) = 11
x + 26 - 4x = 11
x -4x = 11-26
-3x = -15
x = -15/-3
x = 5
There are five touchdowns in the game
There are Five touchdowns were made during the game.
Here,
Alexandria High School scored 37 points in a football game. Six points are awarded for each touchdown.

We want to know the number of touchdowns made during the game.
What is system of equations?
A system of equations is a collection of two or more equations with a same set of unknowns.
Now,
Let the number of touch downs be x
So, the total points earned through touchdowns is;
6 * x = 6x
The number of scores is 10 times
Let the number of extra kick be y which means that the number of conversions will be (y-1)
So, the total number of score times will be ;
x + y + y - 1 = 10
x + 2y = 11 •••••••••(i)
Now let’s work with points
Touch down points = 6 * x = 6x
Points from extra kick = 1 * y = y
Points from 2-point conversions = 2(y-1) = 2y - 2
Hence;
6x + y + 2y -2 = 37
6x + 3y = 37 + 2
6x + 3y = 39
divide through by 3
2x + y = 13 •••••••(ii)
So, now solve this;
From ( ii ), y = 13 - 2x
Put this into ( i )
x + 2(13-2x) = 11
x + 26 - 4x = 11
x -4x = 11-26
-3x = -15
x = -15/-3
x = 5
Hence, There are Five touchdowns were made during the game.

3. 1.18 (or 1.2 rounded)
4. unsure how to solve, sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
your formula: a^2+b^2=c^2
1. 20^2+13^2=c^2
400+169=569
(take the square root of 569)
c=23
2. 15^2+b^2=17^2
225+b^2=289
(subtract 225 from both sides)
b^2= 34
(take the square root of 34)
b=5.83 (or 5.8 rounded)
3. 0.2^2+b^2=1.2^2
0.04+b^2=1.44

Scientists from different fields are trying to understand how the global climate is reacting to the changes caused in nature, and by human activities. They have come up with conflicting interpretations. Which of these is the most likely outcome of differences in interpretations made by scientists on the issue of global climate? All old ideas would be discarded. Scientific evidence would be weakened. Scientists would look for new evidence. The limitations of science would be evident.
Answer:
Scientists would look for new evidence.
Step-by-step explanation:
Anytime scientists have different interpretations, they carry out more experments to look for new evidence. But this is after they must have tested their own hypothesis. If non of these are possible, they set out to get fresh evidences. Having different opinions would make them come up with new ideas with hope that their theories are valid. And it would also make them carry out more experiments for confirmation or for denial.
The data set SMOKE.dta contains information on smoking behavior and other variables for a random sample of single adults from the United States. The variable cigs is the (average) number of cigarettes smoked per day. Do you think cigs has a normal distribution in the U.S. adult population? Explain.
Answer and explanation:
First more than half of the population of the United States do not smoke so the data for smokers in the United States cannot be normally distributed.
Cigs variable does not have a normal distribution in the United States because it is skewed while a Gaussian/normally distributed data is symmetric about it's mean meaning that more values close to the mean occur more frequently. A normally distributed data has more data in the center and is bell shaped while a non normal distribution like the smokers data for US has data skewed to the left or right
Amy sold 10 t-shirts and 2 sweatshirts for $56.
Adam sold 5 t-shirts and 3 sweatshirts for $48.
Write a system of equations to represent this
situation. Let x=cost of a t-shirt and y=cost of a
sweatshirt.
Determine the price of one t-shirt and the price
of one sweatshirt.
Answer:
$3.6 = cost of a t-shirt
$10 = cost of a sweatshirt
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
10 t-shirts and 2 sweatshirts = $56.
5 t-shirts and 3 sweatshirts = $48.
x = cost of a t-shirt
y = cost of a sweatshirt
Find:
Price
Computation:
10x + 2y = 56.......eq1
5x + 3y = 48........eq2
From 2 x eq2
10x + 6y = 96.........eq3
From eq3 - eq1
4y = 40
y = 10
from eq1
10x + 2(10) = 56
10x + 20 = 56
10x = 36
x = 3.6
$3.6 = cost of a t-shirt
$10 = cost of a sweatshirt

Please help! Will give 10 points and brainliest to first...only need 2,4,6,8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2: 1:4 scale factor
4: 4/5 = x/15. 5x=60. x is 12
6: it's a 2:7 ratio. so x would be 8 and y would be 35
8... it's a 4:7 ratio, as both 52 and 91 are divisible by 13 so there's the scale factor
4/7=x+3/2x-1. 7x+21=8x-4
