A soccer player gets 2 points for a goal and 1 point for an assist. If the combined number of goals and assists that a player has is 24, and the total number of points that the player has is 42, which system of equations can be used to determine the number of goals and assists the player has? Assume g represents the number of goals and a represents the number of assists. A)g + a = 24. g + 2 a = 42.
B)g + a = 24. 2 g + a = 42.
C)g + a = 42. g + 2 a = 24.
D)g + a = 42. 2 g + a = 24.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The soccer player has g goals and a assists.

For every goal, he/she gets 2 points and for every assist, he/she earns 1 point. This means that if we multiply g by 2, we get the number of points the player receives from g goals and if we multiply a by 1, we get the number of points the player receives from a assists.

And, that total number of points is equal to 42, so we can write:

2 * g + 1 * a = 42

2g + a = 42

Now, we understand that g and a are the number of goals and assists the player has made, and we also know that the total number of such kicks is 24, so we can write:

g + a = 24

Thus, our system is:

g + a = 24

2g + a = 42

The answer is B.

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
