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.

Since x=x, this is an isosceles right triangle.  By the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=a^2+b^2  (the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the squared sides)

5^2=x^2+x^2

25=2x^2

2x^2=25

x^2=25/2

x=√(25/2)

x=5/√2  now if we rationalize the denominator...

x=(5√2)/(√2√2)

x=(5√2)/2

What % of 40 is 15? Please put how u do it
andriy [413]

Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

so x% of 40 is 15

the equation for that is

x/100 * 40 = 15

40x/100 = 15

multiply 100 on both sides

40x = 1500

divide 40 on both sides

37.5

37.5% of 40 is 15

What are two solutions of 3 + 4 |x/2 + 3| = 11?
Alex
3 + 4abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 Subtract 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 - 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 8 Divide by 4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 8/4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 2

Solution 1
x/2 + 3 = 2 Subtract 3
x/2 = 2 - 3
x/2 = - 1 Multiply by 2
x/2 *2 = - 2
x = - 2

Solution 2
x/2 + 3 = - 2
x/2 = - 2 - 3
x/2 = - 5 Multiply by 2
x = -5 * 2
x = -10

Solutions
x = - 2 <<<< answer 1
x = -10 <<<< answer 2
