In a basketball game, Team A defeated Team B with a score of 97 to 63. Team A won by scoring a combination of two-point baskets,

three-point baskets, and one-point free throws. The number of two-point baskets was 11 more than the number of free throws. The number of free throws was three less than the number of three-point baskets. What combination of scoring accounted for the Team A's 97 points?

Answer:

14 free throw baskets , 25 two point baskets and 11 three point baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n₁ represent the number of free-throw baskets, n₂ represent the number of two point baskets and n₃ represent the number of three point baskets.

Now, from the question, the number of two point baskets, n₂ is greater than the free throw baskets by 11. This is written as n₂ = n₁ + 11. Also, the number of three point baskets n₃ is three less than the number of free point baskets. This is written as n₃ = n₂ - 3. Since our total number of points equals 97, it follows that, sum of number of points multiplied by each point equals 97. So, ∑(number of points × each point) = 97. Thus,

n₁ + 2n₂ + 3n₃ = 97. Substituting n₂ and n₃ from above, we have n₁ +2(n₁ + 11) + 3(n₁ - 3) = 97.

Expanding the brackets, we have, n₁ + 2n₁ + 22 + 3n₁ - 9 = 97

collecting like terms, we have 6n₁ + 13 = 97

6n₁ = 97 - 13

6n₁ = 84

dividing through by n₁ we have, n₁ = 84/6 =14

so n₁ our free throw baskets equals 14. Substituting this into n₂ our number of two point baskets equals n₂ = n₁ + 11 = 14 + 11 = 25. Our number of three point baskets n₃ = n₁ - 3. So, n₃ = 14 -3 = 11.

Hi my lil bunny!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x-3x+5=18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x-3x+5=18\\2x + -3x + 5 = 18

( 2x + -3x ) + ( 5) = 18 (Combine Like Terms)

-x + 5 = 18\\-x + 5 = 18

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

-x + 5 - 5 = 18 - 5 \\-x = 13

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{13}{-1} \\x = -13

Answer : \boxed {x = -13}

Westkost [7]

Answer:

\frac{2(x^{2} + 5x + 3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to sum the following two expressions:

\frac{x}{x+3} + \frac{x+2}{x+5}

\frac{x(x+5) + (x+2)(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}

expanding the polynomial in the numerator:

\frac{2x^{2} + 10x + 6}{(x+3)(x+5)}

\frac{2(x^{2} + 5x + 3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}

This is the most simplified form we can get:

\frac{2(x^{2} + 5x + 3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}
