Answer:

The Answer is: Josh hit 47 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j = Josh number of hits and c = Caiden number of hits:

j = c/2 + 9

Total:

j + c = 123.

Substitute:

(c/2 + 9) + c = 123

c/2 + c = 123 - 9

c/2 + c = 114

1/2c + 2/2c = 114

3/2c = 144

c = 144 (2/3) = 76, Number of hits for Caiden

Solve for j:

j = 76/2 + 9

j = 38 + 9 = 47, number of hits for Josh

Proof:

j + c = 123

47 + 76 = 123

123 = 123

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

A triangle has side lengths of 7 centimeters, 5 centimeters, and c centimeters.
storchak [24]
Sum of two sides always greater than the third side

If c is the smallest number, then

5 + c > 7
c > 2

If c is the largest number, then

5+7>c
12>c

Adding c>2 and 12>c, you get 12>c>2 for the answer

Could you explain how to solve this problem? 10n = 40
irina1246 [14]
Since were trying to solve for n, you have to isolate it so you would divide both sides by 10, and that will give you n = 4
