Answer:

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of shots that Nick sunk.

y -----> number of shots Nick missed

we know that

x+y=28

y=28-x -----> equation A

5x-2y=0 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x

5x-2(28-x)=0

5x-56+2x=0

7x=56

x=8

Find the value of y

y=28-x ----> y=28-8=20

therefore

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. A rectangle, 4 in by 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The foam has the shape of a cuboid with base of 10 in by 4 in and height of 3 in.

The foam has a front elevation of a rectangle with dimension of 4 in by 3 in. It has a left elevation of dimension 10 in by 3 in and a plan of dimension 10 in by 4 in.

If the foam is cut along the red line, the exposed face would be the same as the shape of the front elevation. Hence the shape of the cross section would be a rectangle with dimension of 4 in by 3 in.

Solve 3^x − 2 = 3^7<br><br> A. 2<br> B. 5<br> C. 7<br> D. 9
Vikki [24]

Answer:

C) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3^x−2=2187

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.

3^x−2+2=2187+2

3^x=2189

Step 2: Solve Exponent.

3^x=2189

log(3x)=log(2189)        <<Take log of both sides

x*(log(3))=log(2189)

x= log(2189)/log(3)

x=7.000832

Please help!!! 100 points if correct!!! please actually answer
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the theoretical probability that the family has two dogs or two cats? (1/2)

The choices are dd, dc, cd, cc

There are 4 choices = dd or cc/ total = 2/4 = 1/2

Let the heads of the coin be dogs and the tails of a coin be cats

Flip two coins and coin A is the first pet and coin B is the second pet

heads , heads = 10

heads, tails  14

tails heads  =13

tails tails =  13

          total 50

Experimental probability  2 dogs or 2 cats = ( hh, tt) /total = ( 10+13) /50 =                    23/50

If we had 3 pets  

what is the theoretical probability that they have three dogs or three cats?

ddd, ddc, dcd, dcc, ccc, ccd ,cdc, cdd

There are 8 options

 ddd or ccc/ total = 2/8 = 1/4

Let the heads of the coin be dogs and the tails of a coin be cats

Flip three coins and coin A is the first pet and coin B is the second pet Coin C be the third pet
