Answer:
<em>Sherita would need to make 10 free throws</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Sherita made 46 of her first 60 free throws in this basketball season. Calculating the average we get:
Sherita wants to have a free throw average of at least 80% in her next x free throws. This means she will have 46+x made throws out of 60+x total throws. For this new performance, the new average would be:
And we equate it to 80% (0.8 in decimal):
Multiplying by 60+x:
Operating:
Subtracting 46 and 0.8x:
0.2x=2
Dividing by 0.2
x = 10
Sherita would need to make 10 free throws
You meant to say x^2 - 49 and the second binomial is x^2 - 16.
x^2 - 49 = (x - 7) (x + 7).
Set each factor to 0 and solve for x individually.
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
Do the same for x^2 - 16.
Here is the set up:
x^2 - 16 = (x - 4) (x + 4).
Take it from here.
Answer:
0.60 or 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide three by five :)
3÷5= 0.6
So first simplify 11/6x into 11x/6. Then -13/10x into -13x/10. So you should now have (-13x/10-11x/4)-3/2. Combine the like terms -13x/10 and -11x/4 to get -81x/20 and then with your left over -3/2= -81x/20-3/2
