A basketball player scored 29 points in a game. The number of three-point field goals the player made was 29 less than three tim

es the number of free throws (each worth 1 point). Twice the number of two-point field goals the player made was 15 more than the number of three-point field goals made. Find the number of free-throws, two-point field goals, and three-point field goals that the player made in the game.
A-10 free throws; 1 two-point field goals; 8 three-point field goals

B-11 free throws; 8 two-point field goals; 4 three-point field goals

C-10 free throws; 9 two-point field goals; 3 three-point field goals

D-10 free throws; 8 two-point field goals; 1 three-point field goals

If you let x represent the number of free throws.         
let y represent the number of two-point field goal.         
let z represent the number of three-point shots made.

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows: 

x + 2y + 3z = 29 (The total number of points scored is 29.)
z = 3x - 29 (The number of 3-pointers was 29 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)
2y = z + 15 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 15 more than the number of 3-pointers.) 

Solution:
This basketball player scored 10 points via free throws (10 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 3 points via 1 three-point shots made. So, in the choice its letter D.

A certain food has a gluten ratio of 13\,\text{mg}13mg13, start text, m, g, end text of gluten per \text{L}Lstart text, L, end t
irina [24]

Answer:

The  gluten ratio in micrograms per milliliter is 13 µg/mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the food has a gluten ratio of 13 \frac{mg}{L}.

Now we need to convert gluten ratio in micrograms per milliliter

To convert mg to micro grams use the information shown below:

1 mg = 1000 micro-grams.

1 L = 1000 milliliter

Now, substitute 1 mg = 1000 micro-grams and 1 L = 1000 milliliter in the above ratio.

13( \frac{1000 \ micro-grams}{1000 \ milliliter} )= 13( \frac{micro-grams}{milliliter})

Hence, the  gluten ratio in micrograms per milliliter is 13 µg/mL.

Solve the system of equations x+y=-8 and -9x-6y=60 by combining the equations
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = - 4    y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= - 8

-9x-6y=60

First, solve for x in the first equation:

x+y = - 8       Subtract y from both sides

x + y - y = -8 - y    y cancels on the left

x = - 8 - y

Now plug in what you found for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y.

- 9x - 6y = 60

-9(- 8 - y) - 6y = 60   Multiply out

72 + 9y - 6y = 60

72 + 3y = 60  Subtract 72 from both sides

72 - 72 + 3y = 60 - 72    72 cancels on the left

3y = - 12     Divie both sides by 3

3y/3 = -12/3     3 cancels on the left because 3/3 = 1

y = -4

Now plug your answer for y back into the first equation to get x.

x + y = -8

x + (-4) = - 8  Add 4 to each side

x - 4 + 4 = - 8 + 4   4 cancels on the left

x = -4

x = - 4 and y = - 4
