Answer:

The number of 1-point shots is 15 and the the number of 2-point shots is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of 1-point shots

y ----> the number of 2-point shots

we know that

x+y=57 ----> equation A

x+2y=99 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The intersection point is (15,42)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of 1-point shots is 15 and the the number of 2-point shots is 42

Answer:

\frac{4x+2}{x^2 - 9x + 8} = \frac{4x}{(x-8)(x-1)} + \frac{2}{(x-8)(x-1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x+2}{x^{2}-9+8 } = \frac{A}{()(x-1)} + \frac{B}{()(x-8)}

Required

Fill in the gaps

Going by the given parameters, we have that

\frac{4x+2}{x^{2}-9+8 } = \frac{A}{()(x-1)} + \frac{B}{()(x-8)}

x^2 - 9x + 8, when factorized is (x-1)(x-8)

Hence; the expression becomes

\frac{4x+2}{(x-1)(x-8)} = \frac{A}{(x-8)(x-1)} + \frac{B}{(x-1)(x-8)}

Combine Fractions

\frac{4x+2}{(x-1)(x-8)} = \frac{A + B}{(x-8)(x-1)}

Simplify the denominators

4x + 2 = A + B

By direct comparison

A = 4x

B = 2

Hence, the complete expression is

\frac{4x+2}{x^2 - 9x + 8} = \frac{4x}{(x-8)(x-1)} + \frac{2}{(x-8)(x-1)}

Which equation is part of solving the system by substitution? 4(y + 11)2 – 3y2 = 8 4(11 – y)2 – 3y2 = 8 4(y – 11)2 – 3y2 = 8 4(–
swat32

Answer:

4(11-y)^{2} -3y^{2}=8

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x+y=11 ----> equation A

4x^{2} -3y^{2}=8 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

step 1

isolate the variable x in the equation A

x=11-y ----> equation A1

step 2

Substitute the equation A1 in the equation B

4(11-y)^{2} -3y^{2}=8

Solve for y
