Answer:

A) p = 2x - 4  for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.

Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.

p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.

Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.

44 = 2(24) - 4.

An office has 150 employees, and 30 of the employees work the night shift. What percentage of the employees work the night shift
Zanzabum
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The percent of employees who work in the night shift are:

                                     20%

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Total number of employee in the office are: 150

Number of employee who work in the night shift are:  30

The percent of the employee who work in the night shift is calculated as follows:

\dfrac{\text{Number\ of\ people\ working\ in\ the\ night\ shift}}{\text{Total\ number\ of\ employees}}\times 100

Hence, on putting the value in the above formula we get:

=\dfrac{30}{150}\times 100\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}\times 100\\\\\\=20\%

            Hence, the answer is:

                          20%

Which best describes the relationship between the line that passes through the points
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Perpendicular (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the gradient of the first line:

Change in y/ Change in x =  -7-(-2)/ -9-(-12) = -5/3

Now find the gradient of the second line:

9-6/1-6 = -3/-5 = 3/5

When we multiply the gradient of two perpendicular lines we will get:

m1 x m2 = -1

If we multiply 3/5 and -5/3 we will get -1

Therefore it is perpendicular!
