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.

Describe the process of creating a linear equation using two points and the point-slope form.
faltersainse [42]
First find the slope of the line = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)   where the 2 points are (x1, y1 and (x2, t2). 

Then  substitute the values of  the slope (m) and one of the points   into the point-slope formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The first step in solving 7/8 = 3x - 5/11 is to subtract 5/11 from both sides of the equation.
Ostrovityanka [42]
False because -5/11 should be add on both sides

Find the area of the kite. Hint: The brackets indicates the full length of a segment
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: 54 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a kite is calculated by the formula:

= (Length * Height) / 2

Length = 6 + 6 = 12 ft

Height = 9 ft

Area = (12 * 9) / 2

= 108 / 2

= 54 ft²
