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.

How do you use proportions to solve percent problems​
exis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE #1:

What number is 75% of 4?   (or   Find 75% of 4.)

The PERCENT always goes over 100.

   (It's a part of the whole 100%.)

4 appears with the word of:

   It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.

A proportion showing one fraction  with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).

In a proportion the cross-products are equal:   So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.

The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.

(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)

4 times 75 = 100 times the part

300 = 100 times the part

300/100 = 100/100 times the part

3 =   the part

A proportion showing the denominator,  4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by  100.

Question A volleyball team sold raffle tickets to raise money for the upcoming season. They sold three different types of ticket
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

24 premium tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Deluxe ticket = x

Regular tickets = x + 78

Premium tickets = y

x + (x + 78) + y = 208

4x + 2(x+78) + 10y = 714

2x + y = 208 - 78

4x + 2x + 156 + 10y = 714

2x + y = 130 - - - - - (1)

6x + 10y = 558 - - - - (2)

Now we can solve the simultaneous equation using elimination method :

From (1)

y = 130 - 2x

Put y = 130 - 2x in (2)

6x + 10(130 - 2x) = 558

6x + 1300 - 20x = 558

- 14x = 558 - 1300

-14x = - 742

x = 742 / 14

x = 53

Put x = 53 in y = 130 - 2x

y = 130 - 2(53)

y = 130 - 106

y = 24
