Answer:

<h2>n a basketball game tatiana made 23 baskets . each of the baskets was worth either 2 or 3 points and Tatiana scored a total of 53 points . let x represent the number of two point baskets she made and y represent the number of 3 point baskets she made</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Tatiana made 23 baskets in a game.

x represents two-points baskets, and y represents three-points baskets.

If she scored 53 points, we would have the following relations

x+y=23, which represents the total number of baskets.

2x+3y=53, which represents the total number of points.

To solve this system, we multiply the first equation by -2, then sum and solve for y

\left \{ {{-2x-2y=-46} \atop {2x+3y=53}} \right.\\ y=7

Then, we replace this value to find the other one

x+y=23\\x+7=23\\x=23-7\\x=16

Therefore, Tatiana made 7 baskets of two points and 16 baskets of three points.

Two cylinders are similar. The surface area of one is 49 cm ^ 2 , and the surface area of the other is 121 cm ^ 2 . Find the sca
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

7 : 17.29

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Two similar cylinders:

Surface area of Cylinder A = 49cm²

Surface area of Cylinder B = 121cm²

==>Required:

Scale factor between both cylinders

==>Solution:

We can easily get the scale factor between both by taking the following steps:

=>Set up a ratio of their surface area:

Smaller cone surface area : larger cone surface area

49:121

= 49/121

=>Simplify the ratio gotten:

Dividing the denominator and the numerator by 7, would give us,

7/17.29

= 7:17.29

Svetach [21]
X = 250 mg tabs
y = 500 mg tabs

2200x + 1800y = 39200....multiply by -1
2200x + 2200y = 44000
--------------------------------
-2200x - 1800y = - 39200 (result of multiplying by -1)
2200x + 2200y = 44000
--------------------------------add
400y = 4800
y = 4800/400
y = 12...... the 500 mg tabs (y) costs $ 12 per bottle

2200x + 2200y = 44000
2200x + 2200(12) = 44000
2200x + 26400 = 44000
2200x = 44000 - 26400
2200x = 17600
x = 17600/2200
x = 8 <== the 250 mg tabs (x) costs $ 8 per bottle

At what value of x does the graph of the following function F(x) have a
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \frac{1}{x+2}

The denominator cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = - 2

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$58,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Commission on Sales upto and including $40,000 = 5%

Commission on Sales above $40,000 = 10%

Total commission = $3,860

Now,

For sales of $40,000

maximum commission = 5% of $40,000

= $2,000

Since the commission received is greater than $2,000

Therefore,

The value of s is greater than $40,000

Thus

Amount qualifying for 10% commission = s - $40,000

therefore,

Total commission = $2,000 + 10% of (s - $40,000)

or

$3,860 =  $2,000 + 0.10 × (s - $40,000)

or

$1,860 = 0.10 × (s - $40,000)

or

s - $40,000 = $18,600

or

s = $18,600 + $40,000

or

s = $58,600
