A one on one game requires two players and a team game requires 10 players. Write a system of equations that represents the number of one on one and team games being played

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of basket ball courts = 11

Total number of people playing basketball = 54

Number of players required for one on one game = 2

Number of players required for team game = 10

Inequality to represent number of one on one and team Games being played :

Let one on one games = a

Team games = b

Number of players required for each game * number of games

2a + 10b = 54 - - - (1)

a + b = 11 - - - (2)

a = 11 - b

2(11 - b) + 10b = 54

22 - 2b + 10b = 54

8b = 32

b = 4

a = 11 - b

a = 11 - 4

a = 7

Number of one on one games = 7

Number of Team games = 4
