Setting up a linear equation |
2020-04-10 |

From Jessie:
Michaela and Aleah play on the same basketball team. In one game, Michaela scored
one fifth of the teams points and Aleah scored one tenth of the teams points. Together,
they scored a total of 42 points. How many points did the team score?
I can't figure out how to put together the equation with the given variables. I have to show the work and I also need to know how to make
that kind of equation. Thanks!

From Matt:
I am trying to determine the dimensions of a 22 megapixel digital camera chip that has a 3:2 ratio. We know then, that: 3x = 2y (or 1.5x = y)
and that
xy = 22
Beyond this, I don't know how to hook those 2 seemingly unrelated facts together.
