53 points. Let x represent the number of two-point baskets she made and y represent the number of three-point baskets she made . Write a system of equations to represent the situation and solve the system to find out how many two point and three point baskets Tatiana made.

X+y=23 (x and y added equal the number of baskets made)

2x+3y=53 (since each basket is worth a certain amount of points, x and y must be multiplied by their amount of baskets and added together to get the total number of points)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

<h2>Tatiana scored 7 three points baskets, and 16 two-points baskets.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

  • Tatiana made 23 baskets.
  • x represents the two-point baskets.
  • y represents the three-point baskets.
  • Tatiana scored 53 points.

The expression for the 23 baskets made by Tatiana would be:

x+y=23

In words, the sum of both type of scored baskets sum 23.

The expression for the total points scored would be:

2x+3y=53

In words, baskets of two points and three points sum 53 total points scored by Tatiana.

Now, we isolate x in the first equation and replace it in the second equation:

x=23-y\\2(23-y)+3y=53\\46-2y+3y=53\\y=53-46\\y=7

Replacing this value in the first equation, we have:

x+y=23\\x=23-7=16

Therefore, Tatiana scored 7 three points baskets, and 16 two-points baskets.

James makes fruit punch by mixing fruit jucie and lemonade in the ratio 1:4 she needs to make 40 liters of punch for a party How
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Part 1.

Juice = 8 L.

Lemonade = 32 L.

Part 2.

20 L punch Josie can make.

Part 3.

New ratio juice : lemonade = 2 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1.

1+4 = 5 parts altogether, 1 parts for juice and 4 parts for lemonade.

40 : 5 = 8 L is 1 part.

Juice - 1 part - 8 L.

Lemonade - 4 parts - 4*8 = 32 L.

Part 2.

1 parts of juice needs 4 parts of lemonade

4 L of juice     needs  x L of lemonade

1 : 4 = 4 : x

x = 4*4/1 = 16 L lemonade

4+ 16 = 20 L punch Josie can make

Part 3.

It was 4 L of juice and 16 L of lemonade.

After 2 L lemonade was added, we have 4 L of juice and (16+2) = 18 L of lemonade.

4 L juice : 18 L lemonade = 4/2 L juice : 18/2 L lemonade =

= 2 L juice: 9L lemonade

New ratio juice : lemonade = 2 : 9
