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.
The answer is: C - x^3 + 27

<u>G</u><u>iven:</u>
- Charles has $50.00 (total)
- Charles spent 1 / 4 on a gift card (spent means subtract from total)
- Charles spent 5 / 8 on a new wallet (spent means subtract from total)
<u>R</u><u>equired:</u>
- The question asks: “How much money is leftover?” From this we know we have to find the leftover amount. Find: x = ?
<u>A</u><u>nalysis:</u>
50 (total) = x + 1/4 + 5/8 than solve for x
how much money leftover (x)
= total - spent on gif card - spent on new wallet
x = 50 - 1 / 4 - 5 / 8
<u>S</u><u>olution:</u>
x = 50 - 1/4 - 5/8
- 1/4 of 50 is 50 / 4 = 12.5
x = 50 - 12.5 - 5/8
- 5/8 of 50 is 50/8 = 6.25 <em>this is 1/8 of the price</em>
- than multiply by 5 to get 5/8, 6.25 x 5 = 31.25
x = 50 - 12.5 - 31.25
x = 6.25
<u>S</u><u>tatement:</u>
We found that the leftover amount is $6.25.
Therefore, the leftover amount of money with a starting amount of $50.00 and purchasing a gift card and new wallet is in fact $6.25.
