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.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles.There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. How many tricycles and how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: there are eight bicycles and 7 tricycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles that are there.

Let y represent the number of tricycles that are there.

There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles. This means that

x + y = 15

A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. This means that

2x + 3y = 37- - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(15 - y) + 3y = 37

30 - 2y + 3y = 37

- 2y + 3y = 37 - 30

y = 7

x = 15 - y = 15 - 7

x = 8

What is the distance, to the nearest hundredth, from (6, 5) to (−3, −8)?
Olin [163]

Answer:

15.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

So the distance formula for two given points is

Distance= sqrt((x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2 ) =sqrt((-3-6)^2 +(-8-5)^2 )

=sqrt((-9)^2 +(-13)^2 )

=sqrt(81+169)

=sqrt(250)

=15.81

Marysya12 [62]
To find the unit rate, you would do 2.99 / 11.3 and get about 26 cents. So the unit rate would be 26 over 1 ( 26/1 ).


Hope I helped!
