Kirk and nate are members of the same basketball team. so far this season, the team has played two games. in the first game, nate scored 5 times as many points as kirk, and in the second game, kirk scored 3 times as many points as nate. if kirk and nate have both scored a total of 42 points, which of these is a number of points that either kirk or nate has scored in a game this season?

answer:   n ≤ -3 or n < -5

step-by-step explanation:

-5 + 2n ≥ -11

+5             +5

2n ≥ -6

2/2 ≤ -6/2

n ≤ -3

-6 - 10n > 44

+6           +6

-10n > 50

-10/-10 50/-10

n < -5

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
