In last weekend's track meet, Lakeland High School had 30 individual- event placers score a total of 111 points. First-place finishers score 7 points, second-place finishers score 4 points, and third-place finishers score
1 point. The number of first- and second-place finishers was twice the
number of third-place finishers. Find the number of runners that finished in
each place.

The number of runners that finished in first place , second place and third place are 7 , 13 and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of runners fished at first place be x

Let the no. of runners fished at second place be y

Let the no. of runners fished at third place be z

We are given that Lakeland High School had 30 individual-  event placers

So, x+y+z=30 1

First-place finishers score 7 points

So, Total score of x runners = 7x

Second-place finishers score 4 points

So, total score of y runners = 4y

Third-place finishers score  1 point.

So, total score of z runners = z

We are given that 30 individual-  event placers score a total of 111 points

So, 7x+4y+z=111 2

We are also given that  The number of first- and second-place finishers was twice the  number of third-place finishers.

x+y=2z ---3

Substitute the value from 3 in 1

x+y+z=30

2z+z=30

z=10

Substitute the value of z in 1 and 2

x+y=20 4 and 7x+4y=101 ---5

Substitute the value of x from 4 in 5

7(20-y)+4y=101

140-7y+4y=101

140-3y=101

39=3y

`13=y

Substitute the value of y and z in 1

x+13+10=30    

x=7

Hence the number of runners that finished in first place , second place and third place are 7 , 13 and 10 respectively.

i believe the answer is letter c) 8

step-by-step explanation:

answer: e 9, 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the variation ab in the x coordinate

delta x=(x2-x1)=10-> 8 units

find the variation ab  in the y coordinate 

delta y=(y2-y1)=6-> 2 units

step 2

find the coordinates point c

  x coordinate 

cx=ax+delta x*2/> cx=2+8*(2/> cx=3

  y coordinate 

cy=ay+delta y*2/> cy=4+2*(2/> cy=4.25

the coordinates of point c are (3,4.25)

step 3

find the coordinates point d

  x  coordinate 

dx=ax+delta x*4/> dx=2+8*(4/> dx=4

  y  coordinate 

dy=ay+delta y*4/> dy=4+2*(4/> dy=4.5

the coordinates of point d are (4, 4.5)

step 4

find the coordinates point e

  x  coordinate 

ex=ax+delta x*4/> ex=2+8*(6/> ex=5

  y  coordinate 

ey=ay+delta y*4/> ey=4+2*(6/> ey=4.75

the coordinates of point e are (5, 4.75)

step 5

find the coordinates point f

  x  coordinate 

fx=ax+delta x*4/> fx=2+8*(8/> fx=6

  y  coordinate 

fy=ay+delta y*4/> fy=4+2*(8/> fy=5

the coordinates of point f are (6,5)

step 6

find the coordinates point g

  x  coordinate 

gx=ax+delta x*4/> gx=2+8*(10/> gx=7

  y  coordinate 

gy=ay+delta y*4/> gy=4+2*(10/> gy=5.25

the coordinates of point g are (7,5.25)

step 7

find the coordinates point h

  x  coordinate 

hx=ax+delta x*4/> hx=2+8*(12/> hx=8

  y  coordinate 

hy=ay+delta y*4/> hy=4+2*(12/> hy=5.5

the coordinates of point h are (8,5.5)

step 8

find the coordinates point i

  x  coordinate 

ix=ax+delta x*4/> ix=2+8*(14/> ix=9

  y  coordinate 

iy=ay+delta y*4/> iy=4+2*(14/> iy=5.75

the coordinates of point i are (9,5.75)
