P=3b
p is the total number of points scored. Since there are 3 points being scored, you multiply that by the number of baskets made, b.
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two numbers be x,y (x>y)
Then x+y = 16 and x-y = 2
We know that (x+y)^2 - (x-y)^2 = 4xy
So 4xy = 16^2 - 2^2 => 4xy = (16+2)(16–2)
So xy = 18×14/4 = 63
Product of the numbers = 63
First because 5x+5y=0 you can factor the 5
from equation so:
5(x+y) =5 (0) => x+y=0
and by solving for × using elimination method
-8x+y=36
x+y=0
by subtracting both x and y we get
-9x=36 => x=-4
by inputing × into the "x+y=0" equation so we get:
-4+y=0 => y=4
