1) The United States won 104 gold (9), silver (8), and bronze (b) medals in the 2012

Summer Olympics

a. Select the linear equation in standard form for three

unknowns.

b. The United States won 46 gold medals and the same

number each of silver and bronze medals. Select the relationship between the number

of silver to bronze medals in an equation of two unknowns.

c. With the information given in b, solve the linear equa

tion in a for the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals won

a. - 9+8+ b = 104

b. - 9 = 29, 8 = 46, b = 29

c. -gb

d. - 8=0

e. - 9 = 46, 8 -29, b = 29

f. - 9+8+b = 100

A linear equation in standard form for three (3) unknowns is given by: g + s + b = 104.

How to write a linear equation in standard form?

First of all, you must assign a variable to the unknown numbers when writing a linear equation.

  • Let g be the number of gold.
  • Let s be the number of silver.

Thus, a linear equation in standard form for three (3) unknowns is given by:

g + s + b = 104.

9 + 8 + b = 104.

Solving for b, we have:

b = 104 - 17

b = 87 bronze.

Since the number each of silver and bronze medals are the same, we can deduce that they have a linear relationship.

The number of each medals based on the information given in part B and linear equation in part A is given by:

Number of gold = 46.

g + s + b = 104.

46 + s + b = 104.

46 + 2x = 104

2x = 104 - 46

2x = 58

x = 58/2

x = s = b = 29.
