Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
Answer:
There are 25 students in the class.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of students in the class
12% failed and the number of students is 3
x*12% = 3
x*.12 = 3
Divide each side by .12
x * .12 /.12 = 3/.12
x =25

The equation may also have one common root or no real roots. This gives the maximum number of points where the parabola<span> intersect as </span>2<span>. ... When that is the case, the twp </span>parabolas<span> intersect at 4 </span>distinct<span> points. The maximum number of points of intersection of </span>two distinct parabolas<span> is 4.</span>

Answer:
option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem can be solved using Pythagoras' identity for a right triangle.
The angle between due East and due North is 90°
The solution here involves using the Cosine rule.
let x be the direct distance between house and office, then
x² = 17² + 21² - 2(17)(21)cos90° → option 2
Note that since cos90° = 0 the equation reduces to
x² = 17² + 21² ← Pythagoras' identity
