Answer:

He made approximately 32 free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there's a typo in the question and that he made 57% of his attempted free throws, then we can solve it as shown below:

We can apply a rule of three in order to calculate the number of free throws he made. This is done as follows:

56 free throws -> 100%

x free throws -> 57%

56/x = 100/57

100*x = 57*56

x = 57*56/100 = 31.92

It can also be solved by transforming the percentage in a fraction such as 57% = 57/100 and then multiplying it by the total attempts.

free throws made = 56*57/100 = 31.92

He made approximately 32 free throws.

How to do: 4(x+7)=2(x+7)

andre [41]

4(x+7) becomes 4x+28 you multipli the 4 in parentheses ans 2(x+7) becomes 2x+14

4x+28=2x+14 you move the x termes to the left and other numbers to the right look:

4x-2x=14-28 when you change the sides always change the sign +or-
2x=-14
2x/2=-14/2
X=-7

If a triangle is 12 inches high and has a 20 inch long hypotenuse then how wide is it?

Ber [7]

Answer:

The triangle should be 16 inches wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text {Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the leg.}\\a^2 + b^2 =c^2$

What we know:

One of the legs measures 12 inches.

The hypotenuse is 20 inches.

We need to solve for b. Solving for a while b is 12 would also be acceptable.

$12^2 + b^2 = 20^2 \text { OR } a^2 +12^2=20^2$

We will use the first equation.

$12^2 + b^2 = 20^2\\12 * 12 = 144\\20 * 20 = 400\\\\\boxed {144 + b^2 = 400}$

$\text {Subtraction property of equality: }\\144-144+ b^2 = 400-144\\\boxed {b^2 = 256}\\\\\text {Take the square root of 256: }\\\sqrt{256}=\sqrt{b^2} \boxed {16 = b}$

The triangle should be 16 inches wide.
