Answer:

Shaquille made 10 two-point baskets and 15 free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to set up a system of equations in which the first equation is the total number of baskets. Let x equal free throws and y equal two-point baskets.

x + y = 25

The next equation can be for his total number of points. In this one, two-point baskets must be multiplied by 2, since he gets 2 points for each one he makes.

x + 2y = 40

Now we can use elimination to solve. First multiply the first equation by -1 and then add together.

-x - y = -25

x + 2y = 40

-----------------

y = 15

Now that we have the value of y, we can solve for x.

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

x = 10

Solve using system of equations!
Let y=total amount of money and x=hours of overtime.
mall: y=400+15x
movies: y=360+20x
Solve! Set the equations equal to each other to find x.
400+15x=360+20x
40=5x
x=8
After 8 hours of overtime the movies would pay her more.

Answer:

Area of circle R = 75π un² or ≈235.5 un²

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that m∠TRS = 120º. The total number of degrees in a circle is 360º. 120º is a third of 360º. Therefore, we can prove that the shaded sector is a third of the circle.

The problem then says that the area of the shaded sector is 25π and we have to calculate the area of the entire circle. Since we already know that the shaded sector is a third of the circle, we can simply multiply 25π by 3 in order to calculate the area of t he entire circle.

25π × 3 = 75π.

Area of circle R = 75π un² or ≈235.5 un²
