The total points earned in the football game was 42. the falcons earned 2/3 of that score. how many points did the other team score?

Step-by-step explanation:

other team earned 1/3,

42/1 * 2/3 = 84/3

so 84/3 is 28

then the Falcons = 28

so other team = total score - the Falcons

which is 42 - 28 = 14

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
