It will take 20 points to make the playoffs, the Hockey Team coach told the players. "We get 2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie." Let be the number of wins and be the number of ties. Write an equation to describe the values of and that will let them make the playoffs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that total points required to make the playoffs = 20 points

As there is 2 points for a win,

so points earned for x win = 2x

Similarly, as there is 1 point for a tie.

so points earned for y ties = 1 y= y

Total points earned for x win and y ties = 2x+y

As the team makes the playoff so the total points of the team must be equal to or greater than 20 points (i.e the minimum points to make the playoff), so

Hence, the required equation is .

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
