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.

Answer:

<u>A) Matched pairs design</u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In<em> </em><em>experimental design</em>, the match pairs experimental design is one that often involves only two treatment conditions; which in this case are the 'refrigerated and the room temperature battery storage types'.

Thus, these two treatment conditions form a matched pair because we are told that 10 fully charged batteries are placed into each type of storage.

Create a word problem that involves speed
lana66690 [7]

A hockey puck is sliding on frictionless ice on an infinite hockey rink.
Its speed is 36 km/hour.  How far does the puck slide in 10 seconds ? 

 (36 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr/3600 sec) x (10sec) =

         (36 x 1,000 x 10 / 3,600) meters  =  <em>100 meters</em>

What is the puck's speed in miles per hour ?

        (36 km/hr) x (0.6214 mi/km)  =  <em>22.37 mi/hr</em>

One cup of​ grated, fresh Parmesan cheese weighs 3 ounces. How many cups of grated cheese can you expect to get from a​ 4.5-poun
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

9 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If one pound is equal to 2 cups, then you would multiply 2 by 4, which gives you 8. If one pound equals 2 cups, then half a pound equals 1 cup. So since we already have 8 cups, you just add one more cup, which gives you 9 cups total

SUMMARY: You can expect to get 9 cups of grated parmesan cheese from a 4.5-pound block.

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through point (1, -2) and has a slope of .
hjlf
The correct question is
<span>What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through point (1, -2) and has a slope of 1/3
</span>
we have that
point (1,-2)
slope m=1/3
so
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y+2=(1/3)*(x-1)----> multiply by 3---> 3y+6=x-1
x-3y-1-6=0------> x-3y-7=0

the answer is
<span>x - 3y - 7 = 0</span>
