Answer:

Ok, let's define the notation:

A is the number of 2-point field goals that your team scored.

B is the number of 3-point field goals that your team scored:

We know that:

" your team scored three times as many 2-point field goals than it did 3-point field goals,"

This can be written as:

A = 3*B

" And scored a total of 90 points."

A*2 + B*3 = 90

Then we have a system of two equations and two variables:

A = 3*B

A*2 + B*3 = 90

Now we can replace the first equation into the second one and get:

(3*B)*2 + B*3 = 90

B*6 + B*3 = 90

B*9 = 90

B = 90/9 = 10

And we know that:

A = 3*B

A = 3*10 = 30

Then your team scored 30 2-point field goals and 10 3-point field goals (a total of 40 if you combine them)

Some body can help me with a geometric mean maze
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem 1: The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse.

Theorem 2: The length of each leg of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.

1. Start point: By the 1st theorem,

x^2=25\cdot (49-25)=25\cdot 24=5^2\cdot 2^2\cdot 6\Rightarrow x=5\cdot 2\cdot \sqrt{6}=10\sqrt{6}.

2. South-East point from the Start: By the 2nd theorem,

x^2=40\cdot (40+5)=4\cdot 5\cdot 2\cdot 9\cdot 5\Rightarrow x=2\cdot 5\cdot 3\cdot \sqrt{2}=30\sqrt{2}.

3. West point from the previous: By the 2nd theorem,

x^2=(32-20)\cdot 32=4\cdot 3\cdot 16\cdot 2\Rightarrow x=2\cdot 4\cdot \sqrt{6}=8\sqrt{6}.

4. West point from the previous: By the 1st theorem,

9^2=x\cdot 15\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{81}{15}=\dfrac{27}{5}=5.4.

5. West point from the previous: By the 2nd theorem,

10^2=8\cdot (8+x)\Rightarrow 8+x=12.5,\ x=4.5.

6. North point from the previous: By the 1st theorem,

x^2=48\cdot 6=6\cdot 4\cdot 2\cdot 6\Rightarrow x=6\cdot 2\cdot \sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}.

7. East point from the previous: By the 2nd theorem,

x^2=22.5\cdot 30=225\cdot 3\Rightarrow x=15\sqrt{3}.

8. North point from the previous: By the 1st theorem,

x^2=7.5\cdot 36=270\Rightarrow x=3\sqrt{30}.

8. West point from the previous: By the 2nd theorem,

x^2=12.5\cdot (12.5+13.5)=12.5\cdot 26=25\cdot 13\Rightarrow x=5\sqrt{13}.

9. North point from the previous: By the 1st theorem,

12^2=x\cdot 30\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{144}{30}=4.8.

101. East point from the previous: By the 1st theorem,

6^2=1.6\cdot (x-1.6)\Rightarrow x-1.6=22.5,\ x=24.1.

11. East point from the previous: By the 2nd theorem,

20^2=32\cdot (32-x)\Rightarrow 32-x=12.5,\ x=19.5.

12. South-east point from the previous: By the 2nd theorem,

18^2=x\cdot 21.6\Rightarrow x=15.

13. North point=The end.

PLZ HELP ASAP! IM FAILING SO PLEASEEEE
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: B

You can find slope by using the slope formula. Because we are already given two coordinate points, we can use that to find our slope. The slope formula is \frac{y^{2}-y^{1}  }{x^{2}-x^{1} }. This also refers to \frac{5-(-5)}{0-4} or 10/-4 or -5/2. Any coordinate with the x-value as 0 means that that coordinate is the y-intercept. Because (0,5) has 0 as its x-value, the y-intercept is 5.

Which equation can pair with 3x + 4y = 8 to create a consistent and independent system?
Hunter-Best [27]
There isn't any choices given in this problem but I can give you a tip to answer these kinds of problem. When you say independent, it means that the equation cannot be algebraically altered to result to 3x + 4y = 8. So the equation 6x + 8y = 16 is not an independent equation since when you divide each side by 2 it will result to 3x + 4y =8. You get the idea. <span />
