Answer:

He missed 14 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = Right + Miss ⇒ t = r + m

Right = Miss + 12 ⇒ r = m + 12

t = 40

Since t = r + m and r = m + 12 then:

t = m + 12 + m

t = 2m + 12

40 = 2m + 12

28 = 2m

m = 14

Answer: $\frac{2}{2},1\ \text{and}\ \frac{2}{2},1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{2}\ \text{is equivalent to 1}$

$\text{So, }\ \dfrac{2}{2},2\ \text{is equivalent to 1,2}$

$\text{Similarly, }\ \dfrac{2}{1},1\ \text{represents 2,1 or 1,2}$

$\text{So,}\ \frac{2}{2},1\ \text{and}\ \frac{2}{2},1\ \text{are represents same on number line.}$

Allison plays basketball and last season she made a total of 87 shots (two- or three- point shots). Her points total was 191. Ho

yarga [219]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 2 point shots be t.

Let the number of 3 point shots be h.

Allison made 87 shots and scored 191 total points. This implies two things:

t + h = 87 ________(1)

2t + 3h = 191 ______(2)

Let us eliminate t by multiplying (1) by 2 and subtracting from (2):

=> 2t + 3h = 191

- 2t + 2h = 174

h = 17

Therefore, she made 17 three point shots.
