Hi there! So Elbert made 48% of his shots. To find out how many shots he made, all you have to do is multiply the amount of shots he attempted by the percentage. 25 * 48% is 12. There. Elbert scored 12 baskets.
We have two points, (3,0) and (0,-3). So we can find the slope of the line:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-3-0)/(0-3)
m=-3/-3
m=1 so far for the line y=mx+b we have:
y=x+b, b is the y intercept which we were told is -3 so
y=x-3
The above is called the slope-intercept form of a line, y=mx+b, the standard form of a line is ax+by=c, so we need to get both variables on one side of the equation..
y=x-3 subtract x from both sides
-x+y=-3
While the above may be acceptable to some, technically the coefficient of x should be expressed as a positive value, so we should divide the above "solution" by -1 to get:
x-y=3
Answer: s = 1.44
Step-by-step explanation:
11 - 18*s = -15
-18*s = -15 - 11
-18*s = -26
18*s = 26
s = 26/18
s = 13/9
s = 1.44
Start by distributing the 6 through the parenthses on the left side.
So we have 6x + 24 = 30.
Solving from here, I would subtract 24 from both sides to get 6x = 6.
Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we have x = 1.
