Ratio of the free throws completed to attempted free throws is given to be 4:7. This ratio should be equal to the ratio of the next case. Let x be the number of free throws attempted. The proportion takes a form of,
(4 completed / 7 attempted) = (12 completed / x attempted)
Solving for x gives x = 21. Thus, the answer is letter c. which is the second among the choices.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x)= -x-1 or g(x) = x+1
if g(x) = -x-1
-x-1=2x+4
-x=2x+5
-x/2=x+5
-x/2 -x=5
-x/2-2x/2=5
-x-2x=5
-3x=5
x=5/-3
if g(x) = x+1
x+1=2x+4
x=2x+3
x/2=x+3
x/2-x=3
x/2-2x/2=3
x-2x=3
-x=3
x=3

Answer:
geraldo has 9 marbles and yan has 12
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (x-3) = 21
x + x - 3 = 21
2 x - 3 = 21
Explanation:
In this problem, let us first analyze the situation. It says here that Geraldo and Yan both had marbles of their own. The problem states that together, they have a total of 21 marbles. However, we know here from the problem that they have different number of marbles each. Geraldo seems to have lesser number of marbles than Yan. Yan have three marbles more than Geraldo.
We can write the equation starting from assigning the unknown.
We'll use x.
x is the number of marbles that Yan have.
if x is Yan's, then, we can say that x-3 is Geraldo's.
Put them together into the equation.
Yan's plus Geraldo's is equal to 21.
Substitute using the represented unknowns.
x + (x-3) = 21.
In solving, we can also rule out that:
x + x - 3 = 21
2 x - 3 = 21
2 x = 21 + 3
2 x = 24
x = 12
x - 3 = 9
Yan has 12 marbles
and Geraldo has 9 marbles.
The correct answer is B. Readmitting states when 10 percent of the electorate took a loyalty oath.
Explanation:
The election of Abraham Lincoln as the President of the U.S. motivated states of the South to secede from the United States and began the Civil War, which was influenced by the slavery issue. In this context, one of the purposes of Lincoln was to end slavery and re-integrate states of the South.
This was possible only at the end of the Civil War. Moreover, the plan Lincoln implement was known as the Ten percent plan and involved the 10% of the people who could vote in a state (electorate) needed to take a loyalty oath or declare complete loyalty and support to the U.S. government for the state to be admitted in the U.S. again.
