Can someone me on these 2 algebra questions?
my teacher even gave me hints and i still don't know. /:
1. anita and joelle bowled together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points. anita’s score was 40 less than twice joelle’s. what were their scores? write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents joelle’s score and y represents anita’s score.
a. x + y = 425
y = 2x – 40
b. x + y = 425
y = 2x + 40
c. x – y = 425
y = 2x – 40
d. x + y = 40
y = 2x – 425
*teacher hint*
what two things are we looking at? (they breathe) assign each of them a variable.
look at the two pieces of information they’re giving you separately.
what was their total?
how do those “things you’re looking for” compare to each other?
2. elena bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. she bought 7 times as many trigger fish as parrot fish. how many of each type of fish did she buy?
which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of parrot fish elena bought and y represents the number of trigger fish she bought?
a. x + 7y = 320
y = 7x
b. x + y = 7
y = 320x
c. x + y = 320
y = 7x
d. x – y = 320
y = 7x

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

welll its a very hard question but ill

step-by-step explanation:

first you take the 6 dollars and add 10 to it then add the 50 to that then multiply by 8 with xy and your answer will be

hope this
