Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
You would subtract 11 on both sides of the equation.
Then multiply the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2.
And you should get -16 as your answer <span />
The answer to this is x < -10/7
Sec∅ = 1/cos∅
= 1/cos(240)
= 1/cos(180 + 60)
= 1/-cos(60)
= 1/(-1/2)
= -2
The slope (m) and the ordered pairs are given.
In order to arrive at the standard form : AX + BY = C, we need to form the slope-intercept form first : y = mx + b
Substitute the values in order to get the intercept (b)
y = mx + b
5 = 5/4 * 4 + b
5 = 5 + b
b = 0
So given the m = 5/4, b = 0
y = mx + b
y = 5/4x+ 0
Converting it to Standard Form
y = 5/4x + 0
5/4x - y = 0 (multiply both sides by 4)
5x - 4y = 0
<span>So the Standard form is 5x - 4y = 0</span>
