Complete Question
In the first half of a basketball game, a player scored 9 points on free throws and then scored a number of 2-point shots. In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half. Which expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game?
a) 2x + 3x + 9
b) 2x + 3 + 9
c) 2x + 3x + 9x
d) 2 + 3x + 9
Answer:
a) 2x + 3x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of points shots a player scores = x
In a free throw, the player scored 9 points = 9
The player also scored a number of 2-point shots = 2x
In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half = 3x
The expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game =
2x + 3x + 9
By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
