If you would like to know how many free throws did a basketball player attempted, you can calculate this using the following steps:

75% of x is 84
75% * x = 84
75/100 * x = 84
x = 84 * 100 / 75
x = 112 free throws

The correct result would be 1<span>12 free throws.</span>

Answer:

$\alpha=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Circle</u>

A circle of radius r and centered on the point (h,k) can be expressed by the equation

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

We are given the equation of a circle as

$3x^2+3y^2-6\alpha x+12y-3\alpha=0$

Note we have corrected it by adding the square to the y. Simplify by 3

$x^2+y^2-2\alpha x+4y-\alpha=0$

Complete squares and rearrange:

$x^2-2\alpha x+y^2+4y=\alpha$

$x^2-2\alpha x+\alpha^2+y^2+4y+4=\alpha+\alpha^2+4$

$(x-\alpha)^2+(y+2)^2=r^2$

We can see that, if r=4, then

$\alpha+\alpha^2+4=16$

Or, equivalently

$\alpha^2+\alpha-12=0$

There are two solutions for $\alpha$ :

$\alpha=-4,\ \alpha=3$

Keeping the positive solution, as required:

$\boxed{\alpha=3}$

2) 9 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisibility rule for 5 is that it must end in 5 and 0

so the next one is 45, so 3 more people
