If you would like to know how many free throws did Jeremy attempt, you can calculate this using the following steps:
65% of x free throws is 39 free throws
65% * x = 39
65/100 * x = 39 /*100/65
x = 39 * 100 / 65
x = 60 free throws
Jeremy attempted 60 free throws.
If the line is perpendicular, that means the slope has to be opposite, so it will have a slope of -1/2
Fill in the point that it has to pass through on y and x
1=-1/2(0) + b
1=0+b
1=b
Then go back to the standard form y=mx + b and fill in the slope and y intercept
Y= -1/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Subtract 8 from both sides.
2) Simplify 14 - 8 to 6.
3) Divide both sides by, -3.
4) Simplify 6/3 to 2.
Therefor, the answer is, a = -2.
Samuel could round both of the individual numbers, to get s rounded answer. So, he could round 23 to 20, and 395 to 400, to get a product of 8000.
Or, he could multiply the numbers first, so 23*395 to get a product of 9085, which would then round to 9000, or depends on what place value it would want to be rounded to.
