Amelia and Joey decided to shoot arrows at a simple target with a large outer ring and a smaller bull's-eye. Amelia went first and landed 3 arrows in the outer ring and 3 arrows in the bull's-eye, for a total of 267 points. Joey went second and got 4 arrows in the outer ring and 3 arrows in the bull's-eye, earning a total of 281 points. How many points is each region of the target worth? The outer ring is worth ____ points, and the bull's-eye is worth ____ points.

Respuesta :

Answer:

outer ring worth 14 pts

bull's-eye worth 74.333333 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

let the worth point of landing an arrow on the outer ring be "x" and on bull's eye be "y"

For amelia

[tex]3x + 3y = 267[/tex]

For joey

[tex]4x + 3y = 281[/tex]

subtracting the first equation from the second

[tex]x = 14[/tex]

[tex]3x + 3y = 267[/tex]

[tex]42 + 3y = 267[/tex]

[tex]3y = 223[/tex]

[tex]y = 74.333[/tex]
