Complete Question
In the first half of a basketball game, a player scored 9 points on free throws and then scored a number of 2-point shots. In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half. Which expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game?
a) 2x + 3x + 9
b) 2x + 3 + 9
c) 2x + 3x + 9x
d) 2 + 3x + 9
Answer:
a) 2x + 3x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of points shots a player scores = x
In a free throw, the player scored 9 points = 9
The player also scored a number of 2-point shots = 2x
In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half = 3x
The expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game =
2x + 3x + 9
$20 because 10% of 40 is 10 and the price now is 40 so 2 years before would have been 20

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
p is approximately equal to 1.125, -1.925
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this first by expanding, giving us a quadratic equation in the usual ax² + bx + c format, then solving that for p:
(4p - 4)(13p + 27) = 0
52p² + 108p - 52p - 108 = 0
52p² + 52p - 108 = 0
13p² + 13p - 27 = 0
13p² + 13p = 27
p² + p = 27 / 13
p² + p + 1/4 = 27/13 + 1/4
(p + 1/2)² = 108 / 52 + 13 / 52
(p + 1/2)² = 121 / 52
p + 1/2 = ± √(121 / 52)
p = -1/2 ± 11√(1/13) / 2
At that point we can simply plug those numbers into a calculator and solve it:
p ≈ 1.125, -1.925
