Answer:

3 , 6 , 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are three groups of shots in basketball.

First group carry = 1 point

Second group carry = 2 points

Third group carry = 3 points

Sarah scored a total of 25 points by making 13 total baskets.

She made twice as many 2 point shots as she did 3 point shots.

Question asked:

How many of each type of shot did she make ?

Solution:

Let number of baskets, she made which carry 3 points = x

Then, number of baskets, she made which carry 2 points = 2x

Total number of baskets, she made = 13

Then, number of baskets, she made which carry 1 points = 13-(x+2x)=13-3x

Now,

Sarah scored a total number of points = 25

3\times x+2\times2x+1(13-3x)=25\\3x+4x+13-3x=25\\4x+13=25

Subtracting both sides by 13

4x=25-13\\4x=12

Dividing both sides by 4

x=3

By substituting the value:-

Number of baskets, she made which carry 3 points = x = 3

Number of baskets, she made which carry 2 points = 2x = 2\times3=6

Number of baskets, she made which carry 1 points = 13-3x=13-3\times3=13-9=4

Thus, she made 3 baskets of 3 points, 6 baskets of 2 points and 4 baskets of 1 point.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Associative Property of Multiplication

[ 3(5) (4) = (3) 5(4)]

Identity Property of Multiplication

5(1) = 5

Identity Property of Addition

(3 + 5) + 0 = (3+5)

Commutative Property of Addition

3 + 5 = 5 + 3

Associative Property of Addition

3 + (5 + 7) = (3 + 5) + 7  

​

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property states that you can re-group numbers and you will get the same answer and the commutative property states that you can move numbers around and still arrive at the same answer.

The identity property of 1 says that any number multiplied by 1 keeps its identity.
