Answer:

field goals = 36,  foul shots = 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Chamberlin scored 100 points.

Chamberlain made a total of 64 baskets consisting of field goals and foulshots.

Each field goal worth = 2 points

Each foulshot  worth =  1 points

Question asked:

Find the number of field goals and the number of foul shots that chamberlain made ?

Solution:

Let number of field goals = x

<u>As total of 64 baskets, he made:</u>

Then number of foul shots = 64-x

Now, total points, he scored is given 100,

<u><em>Number of field goals </em></u>\times<u><em> 2 + Number of foul shots </em></u>\times<u><em> 1 = 100</em></u>

x\times2+(64-x)\times1=100\\2x+64-x=100\\x+64=100

Subtracting both sides by 64

x+64-64=100-64\\x=36

Number of field goals = x = 36

Then number of foul shots = 64-x = 64 - 36 = 28

Therefore, 36 field goals and 28 foul shots made by chamberlain.

BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER HELPS IM DESPERATE PLZ :). Winston is creating a rectangular piece of 8-bit art using squares that are x p
Furkat [3]

Answer:  a(x) = x^2 + 40 x + 384

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, here the length of the rectangle is represented by the function l(x) = x + 24,

While the breadth of the rectangle is represented by the function w(x) = x + 16.

And, we know that the area of the rectangle = length of the rectangle l(x) × breadth of the rectangle.

a(x) = l(x) × w(x)

a(x) = (x + 24) × (x + 16)

a(x) = x^2 + 24 x + 16 x + 24\times 16

a(x) = x^2 + 40 x + 384

What does AC=?<br> Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. <br><br> Please help
faltersainse [42]

Answer: About 3.06

Step-by-step explanation:

  We can use trigonometry functions to solve for AC. Let the ?, representing AC, be "x" in our mathematical work.

  Since we have the hypotenuse and x is adjacent to the angle given, I am going to use cosine.

      cos(θ) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse }

      cos(40) = \frac{x}{4}

      0.766 ≈ \frac{x}{4}

      3.06 ≈ x

      x ≈ 3.06
