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.

<em>Additional comment</em>

In general, units conversion is done by multiplying by a factor whose numerator and denominator have equal values, but different units. The units in that fraction need to be arranged to cancel the units you don't want and leave the units you do want.

Write the slope-intercept form of the given line. Include your work in your final answer.
Degger [83]

Answer:

y=1x+-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope which is 1/1 because it is rise over run (rising 1, running 1)

b=y-intercept form which is -1 because that is where the line meets the y axis

Answer:

acute angle

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em><u>Finding the angle </u></em></h2>

an obtuse angle is an angle which is more than 90° but less than 180°

a right angle is 90°

a straight angle is 180°

an acute angle is less than 90°

is you look at the picture and the definitions you can notice that the angle is less than 90 ° hence its an <u>acute angle </u>
