Answer:

17

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

 -  <u>2t + 2h = 174</u>

     <u>          h  = 17 </u>

<u />

Therefore, she made 17 three point shots.

There are 2 Senators from each of 50 states. We wish to make a 3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same sta
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

a) rCn = 1176

b) 2352

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Each committee should be formed with 3 members ( no two members could be of the same state) then

Let´s  fix a senator for any of the 50 states so in the new condition we need to combined 49 senators in groups of 2 then

rCn =  n! / (n - r )! *r!

rCn =  49!/ (49 - 2)!*2!

rCn =  49*48*47! / 47!*2!

rCn = 49*48 /2

rCn = 1176

So we can choose in 1176 different ways a senator for a given state

b) To answer this question we have to note, that, 1176 is the number of ways a committee can be formed with senators of different sate (taking just one senator for state ) if we have 2 senators we need to multiply that figure by 2.

1176*2 = 2352

What is the equation of the blue line?
zaharov [31]

Answer: <em>y = 3x + 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x-x_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } =\dfrac{y-y_{1} }{y_{2} -y_{1} }\\

<em>Let's choose two arbitrary points on the graph.</em>

<em>For example, let these be points with coordinates (1, 5) and (2, 8).</em>

<em>Substitute the coordinates of these points into the above formula and derive the equation of a straight line.</em>

\dfrac{x-1}{2-1} =\dfrac{y-5}{8-5}\\\\\dfrac{x-1}{1} =\dfrac{y-5}{3}\\\\3(x-1)=y-5\\3x-3=y-5\\y=3x-3+5\\y=3x+2
