The Potter Valley basketball team did not record how many baskets each player made during the last game. Jenny remembers that sh

e made three times as many baskets as Grace. Alexis knows that she made six more baskets than Grace. Joan thinks that she made 4 fewer baskets than Grace. Tammy is sure that she made the same number of baskets as Joan. Altogether the five players made 40 baskets. How many baskets did each player make?

Answer: The approximate values that every player make are,

Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

Alex = 11.43 Baskets

Joan = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Grace made x baskets.

Then According to the question,

Jenny made baskets = 3x

Alexis made basket = x + 6

Joan made basket = x - 4

Tammy made baskets = x

Since, Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

⇒ 7x = 38

⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286 ≈ 11.43

Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

≈ 1.43

One month,ruby worked 6 hours more than Isaac, and Svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as ruby. Together they worked 126 hours

Misha Larkins [42]

I + 6 = r

4r = s

i + r + s = 126

4i + 24 = 4r

s= 4r

i = r-6

4i+24=i+6
-3i=18

i = 6

I need some help with this, please explain well. It's Trigonometry with right triangles, please let me know if you need a better

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you figure out which function your going to use. I notice that from the angle we have 5 which is the opposite side and 23 which is the adjacent side. This means we have to use tangent.

Then set up your equation: tan(x)=5/23. This is because the opposite side is 5 and the adjacent is 23 and it must be set up in that order.

Next get x alone by making the equation: x=tan^-1(5/23).

Then put it into the calculator and round to get 12.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,7) and is perpendicular to the line

Temka [501]

The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$6x+y=3\\y= -6x+3$

The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.

Let m1 be the slope of given line

and

m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line

Then

$m_1=-6$

Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

$m_1*m_2 = -1\\-6*m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{-1}{-6}\\m_2=\frac{1}6}$

The equation of new line can be written as:

$y=m_2x+b\\$

Putting m2

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+b$

To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation

$7=\frac{1}{6}(-6)+b\\7=-1+b\\b=7+1\\b=8$

Putting the values of b and m in general equation

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$

A. Find the unit price for each option shown below. Round to the nearest cent when necessary. Option I: 10 candy bars for $6.75

kipiarov [429]

The unit price for option 1 is $0.68 for each candy bar. The unit price for option 2 is $0.60. So you would be getting more candy bars for your money with the second option. I hope this helps!
