You got 9 right, because 5x -3y = 36
For you to lose points, having answered all of thee questions, to the point of which you were given 36 out of 60 possible points tells that you must have gotten over half right for points to have been taken away, and the only factors that satisfy the equation with those restrictions would determine that x must equal 9, making the amount you got right worth 45 points, but with y equal to 3, 9 points were taken away from that score, making it 36. This can also be displayed on a x versus y graph.

If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those.  Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span> <span> <span> 66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet

Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.

I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
