Answer: 36 three-point field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, set up a system of equations. Let's call the number of  one-pointers w, the number of two-pointers x, and the number of three-pointers y. We are trying to find y here. We also know that w+x+y=85, because that is the total amount of baskets, and also that w+2x+3y=184, which is the total amount of points. We know that there were 22 free throws,  so that means we can take away 22 baskets from the first equation, and also 22 points from the second equation. Now the equations are x+y=63 and 2x+3y=184. Solving the equations using our knowledge of systems of equations, you get that y=36. So, 36 is the answer. Let me know if anything was unclear, and I hope this helped.

The sample space of a random experiment is {a,b,c,d,e} with probabilities 0.1,0.1,0.2,0.4, and 0.2, respectively. Let A denote t
velikii [3]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample space

S={a,b,c,d,e}

P(a)=0.1

P(b)=0.1

P(c)=0.2

P(d)=0.4

P(e)=0.2

a.A={a,b,c}

P(A)=P(a)+P(b)+P(c)

P(A)=0.1+0.1+0.2=0.4

b.B={c,d,e}

P(B)=P(c)+P(d)+P(e)=0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

c.A'=Sample space-A={a,b,c,d,e}-{a,b,c}={d,e}

P(A')=P(d)+P(e)=0.4+0.2=0.6

d.A\cup B={a,b,c,d,e}

P(A\cup B)=P(a)+P(b)+P(c)+P(d)+P(e)=0.1+0.1+0.2+0.4+0.2=1

e.A\cap B={c}

P(A\cap B)=P(c)=0.2

Solve and classify the styat as: inconsistent, consistent and idependent, or consistent and dependent. 2x+y=8 and 3x-y=17
ella [17]
2x + y = 8
3x - y = 17
---------------add
5x = 25
x = 25/5
x = 5

2x + y = 8
2(5) + y = 8
10 + y = 8
y = 8 - 10
y = -2

solution is (5,-2).....this is consistent and independent because it has one solution

Determine the intercepts of the line. 4x-1=3y+5
guapka [62]
Calculate the intercepts bu replacing x or y with 0 and solving for the other.

4x - 1 = 3y + 5
If x = 0,
4(0) - 1 = 3y + 5
-1 = 3y + 5
-6 = 3y
y = -2

If y = 0
4x - 1 = 3(0) + 5
4x - 1 = 5
4x = 6
x = 6/4 or 3/2

x int: (3/2,0)
y int: (0,-2)

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h2>1.08*(0.82y)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see...

y is the price.

y

Then, 18% off. This is:

y - (y*0.18) = 0.82*y

Then, we add 8%, so now it's 1.08% of this expression:
