Answer:

Is needed the total points that the team scored to calculate the total points that the rest of the team scored

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y-------> the total points that the team scored

x------> the total points that the rest of the team scored

we know that

Jerome scores is equal to 12

Jaime scores is equal to ----> 12/2=6

y=x+12+6 -----> y=x+18

Solve for x

x=y-18

so

Is needed the total points that the team scored (variable y) to calculate the total points that the rest of the team scored (variable x)

Answer 1

6 points

Step-by-step explanation:

As given Jerome scores 12 points in a basketball game. This number is twice that of the rest of the team of basketball. This mean in basketball game if Jerome has scored 2 points than the rest of the team would have scored 1 point. Similarly, as the given value that Jerome scores 12 points than rest of his team scores 6 points in the basketball game.

Answer 2

Total points = 18 + X

Step-by-step explanation:

From the mention values in the question we understood that Jerome scores 12 points in basketball game when his team scores half of the points during the same game. To solve the problem we will make an equation

Calculation,

Total point (T.P) formula

T.P = 12 +12/6 +X

T.P = 12+ 6+X

T.P = 18 +X

Answer 2 with Explanation

The equation found in the answer 2 has a value x in the equation which needs to be solved.

Calculations,  

Total points = 18 + x

The number of total depends on the game score of the game.

Assuming that if total points is 24 at the end of the game

Then,

24 = 18 + x

24 / 18 = x

1.33 = x

Therefore, value of x is 1.33 as from the assumed total points.

Susan has 10 pockets and 44 dollar bills. She wants to arrange the money so that there are a different number of dollars in each
levacccp [35]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is no because no pocket can be empty and there isn't enough money to satisfy the condition. At least, one dollar must be stored in each pocket but the number (integer) of dollars in each pocket is different.

Let's store the minimum amount of dollars in the pockets while satisfying the condition. Place 1 dollar in the first pocket. The second pocket must have 2 dollars (it can't be 1 dollar, it must be a different number of dollars). The third pocket must have third dollars.

Repeating this process, the ninth pocket must have 9 dollars. At this moment, we have arranged 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45 dollars in our pockets. But we only had 44 dollars! Plus, the tenth pocket is still empty.

If you store more dollars on the first, second, nth pockets, you will just run out of money more quickly than in our process above. so it's impossible to arrange the money in such way.

Complete the square to find the minimum value of the expression 4x2 + 8x + 23.
Tcecarenko [31]
So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19

I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..

So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.

4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0

for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)

Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.

Please help explanation if possible
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

concepts: y=mx+b is slope intercept equation formula

m=slope

b= y intercept

Therefore we need to find the slope and y intercept

first find slope

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

let y2 be 2

let y1 be -4

let x2 be 1

let x1 be 3

\frac{2-(--4)}{1-3}

6/-2 = -3

m=-3

slope is -3

y= -3x+ b

we need find y intercept now

just plug in (1,2) into that equation

2=-3(1)+b

b=5

y=-3x+5
