Problema Solution
Jesus and Mark are on opposing soccer teams running straight towards the same ball. The paths they are running can be modeled by linear equations. Jesus’s path towards the ball can be modeled by the equation y = -2x + 80 and Mark’s path towards the ball can be modeled by the equation y = 3x.
solve the following system to find the coordinates of the ball.
Answer provided by our tutors
we need to solve the system of equations:
y = -2x + 80
y = 3x
by solving we find
x = 16
y = 48
