Answer:
it is saying 5 divided by what equals three so I sugest to start by finding out what is half of 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The system of equations are;
a + b = 9 ———(1)
a + 3b = 23———(2)
Step-by-step Explanation: The variables used here are a and b. Where a represents the number of free throws and b represents the number of three-pointers.
From equation (1), what we have is the total number of shots he has taken altogether which is 9 shots in all. All 9 shots are an addition of free throws and three pointers (that is a + b).
In equation (2), what we have is the points obtainable times the number of shots taken (for each shot). This means if a is a free throw, then 1 times a is equal to number of free throws times 1. Similarly, if b is a three-point throw, then 3 times b is equal to the number of three pointers thrown times 3.
The solution to the equation above gives us,
a = 2 and b = 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To add fractions <em>with the same denominator</em>, simply add the numerators:
So:
Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute: 4x + 8 = 3x - 6
- Subtract 3x on both sides: x + 8 = -6
- Subtract 8 on both sides: x = -14
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
4(-14 + 2) = 3(-14 - 2)
4(-12) = 3(-16)
-48 = -48
