Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

49^3x = 343^2x+1

49 = 7^2 and 343 = 7^3

7^2 ^3x = 7^3 ^2x+1

we know that a^b^c = a^ (b*c)

7^(2 *3x) = 7^(3 *(2x+1))

7^(6x) = 7^(6x+3)

The bases are the same so the exponents have to be the same

6x = 6x+3

Subtract 6x from each side

0 =3

This is never true so there is no solution

In a basketball game Fintan made 16 baskets. Each of the baskets is worth either 2 or 3

jekas [21]

Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.

Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39

Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y

Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7

So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)
