Mathematics

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x − 8 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4*-2 = -8

4-2 = 2

(x+4) (x-2)=0

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0         x-2=0

x+4-4 =0-4      x-2+2=0+2

x = -4               x=2

We want the sum of the solutions

-4+2 = -2

A basketball player scored 29 points in a game. The number of three-point field goals the player made was 29 less than three tim
jek_recluse [69]
If you let x represent the number of free throws.         
let y represent the number of two-point field goal.         
let z represent the number of three-point shots made.

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows: 

x + 2y + 3z = 29 (The total number of points scored is 29.)
z = 3x - 29 (The number of 3-pointers was 29 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)
2y = z + 15 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 15 more than the number of 3-pointers.) 

Solution:
This basketball player scored 10 points via free throws (10 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 3 points via 1 three-point shots made. So, in the choice its letter D.
