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!! :-)

Solve the equation. Round to the nearest thousandth. -12e-x + 8 = 7​
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

-12e-x + 8 = 7

-12e-x = 7-8

-12e-x = -1

12e-x = 1

e-x = 1/12

ln(e-x) = ln(1/12)

x = -ln(1/12)

x = -2.485
