Answer:

The System of linear equations are:

2a+3b = 82  

a+b=38

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, a represents the number of 2-points and b represent the number of 3-point basket.

As per the statement:

The basketball team scored 82 points from 2- points and 3-points baskets.

⇒ 2a+3b = 82  

It is also given that: They make 38 baskets altogether.

⇒a+b=38

therefore, the system of linear equations are:

2a+3b = 82  

a+b=38

Answer:

Linear equations are  a+b=38 and 2a+3b=82

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The basketball team scored 82 points from 2- points anf 3-points baskets. They make 38 baskets altogether.

To find : The system of linear equations

Solution :

Let a represent the number of 2-points baskets.

Let b represent the number of 3-points baskets.

They make 38 baskets altogether.

Equation form is a+b=38 .....[1]

The basketball team scored 82 points from 2- points basket ,3-points baskets.

Equation form is 2a+3b=82 ......[2]

Linear equations are  a+b=38 and 2a+3b=82

We solve the two equations,

Put a=38-b from [1] in [2]

2(38-b)+3b=82

76-2b+3b=82

b=6

Put back in [1]

a+b=38

a+6=38

a=32

Hence, There is 32 - 2 point basket and 6 - 3 points basket.

Is is square root of 1.6875 a rational number
mamaluj [8]

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

Is square root of 1.6875 a rational number ?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Square root of 1.6875 a rational number is not a rational number

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find square root of 1.6875 and determine if it is rational number or not

Let us first find square root of 1.6875

\sqrt{1.6875} = 1.29903810568

Let us understand about rational number

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction (ratio) in the form \frac{p}{q} where p and q are integers and q is not zero.

When a rational number fraction is divided to form a decimal value,  it becomes a terminating or repeating decimal.

So the number 1.29903810568 is not a rational number

<em><u>In other words we can say,</u></em>

Only the square roots of square numbers are rational. Here 1.6875 is not a perfect square. So it is not rational number

You have a 32-foot fence around a square garden. You paint 1/3 of one side of the fence. What fraction of the fence did you pain
dmitriy555 [2]
The answer is 1/12.

The perimeter of a square garden with side s is:
P = 4s

s = 1/4P

Since it is painted 1/3 of 1/4 of the fence, the<span> fraction of the painted fence is:
1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12</span>
