The number of two-points shots made is 14

The number of free throws made is 10

<h3>What is the number of two-points shots and free throws made?</h3>

The first step is to formulate a set of linear equations that represent the information in the question:

x + y = 24 equation 1

2x + y = 38  equation 2

Where:

  • x = number of two-point shots made
  • y = number of free throws made

The linear equations would be solved using the elimination method.

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Subtract  equation 1 from  equation 2

x = 14

Substitute for x in  equation 1

14 + y = 24

Combine similar terms:

y = 24 - 14

Add similar terms together

y = 10

Boyd’s dartboard is octagonal. Each side measures 9 in. He drew a copy of the board that was smaller by a scale factor 0.25.
Basile [38]
<span>The question is about the side length of a copy of the dartboard. We know that the original dartboard has sides that measure 9 inches. We also have the scale factor 0.25. The ratio of the corresponding sides is called the scale factor. If we have the scale factor 0.25 it means that for 1 unit of the original figure there are 0.25 units of length of a copy. Therefore: x = 9 * 0.25; x = 2.25 in. Answer: The side length of the dartboard Boyd drew is 2.25 inches.</span>

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The midpoint of this line segment is (-1.5, -4.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the midpoint of a line segment we are actually averaging the x- and y-coordinates of the endpoints:

                                             -2 -1

x-coordinate of midpoint = --------- = -3/2 = -1.5

                                                 2

                                              -4 -5

y-coordinate of midpoint = ---------- = -4.5

                                                   2

The midpoint of this line segment is (-1.5, -4.5).
