Complete Question

In the first half of a basketball game, a player scored 9 points on free throws and then scored a number of 2-point shots. In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half. Which expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game?

a) 2x + 3x + 9

b) 2x + 3 + 9

c) 2x + 3x + 9x

d) 2 + 3x + 9

Answer:

a) 2x + 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points shots a player scores = x

In a free throw, the player scored 9 points = 9

The player also scored a number of 2-point shots = 2x

In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half = 3x

The expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game =

2x + 3x + 9

- 3x + y = 3<br> 2y = -3x - 12
Lynna [10]

Answer:

x=-2, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can rearrange the questions to make it easier

y=3x+3

2y=-3x-12

if you add the two equations, you get

3y=0x-9

so y=-9/3 = -3

plug y into one of the equations

-3=3x+3

-6=3x

x=-2

and then check your work by plugging into the other equation:

2*-3=-3(-2)-12

-6=6-12

-6=-6

Find an equation of the line described below. Write the equation is slope-intercept from ( solved for y), when possible. Through
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The equation of the line that is passing through the point (5,4) and is parallel to x-axis would be y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line passes through the point (5,4).

As the line is parallel to the x-axis, the slope of the line would be zero.

And we have point (5,4) from which the line is passing.

So, x_1=5\  ,\ y_1=4\ and\ m=0

The equation of the line passing through point (x_1,y_1) is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-4=0(x-5)\\y-4=0\\y=4

So, the equation of the line that is passing through the point (5,4) and is parallel to x-axis would be y=4

You are attempting to estimate the number of protester marching through the city
Alenkinab [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of protesters per minute remains a constant, then you could write the proportion ...

  p/12 = 177/2.1

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  p = 12(177/2.1) ≈ 1011.4

Here, minutes are given to 2 significant figures, and the initial count is given to 3 significant figures. The best you can hope for is that your estimate is good to 3 significant figures:

 1010 protesters

It is probably sufficient to report the number to 2 significant figures*:

  1000 protesters

_____

* Unfortunately, with a number like 1000, the only way you can tell it has 2 significant figures is to report it as 1.0×10³ or 10. hundreds. The trailing zeros are usually not considered significant.
