For every 5 she misses 3.. this is a proportion that can be set up as
5/3 = x/24

Steps:
1) cross multiple 5 (that she makes) times the 24 (that she missed.

2) cross multiply the 3 (that she misses) times the missing value.
Giving you 3x=5(24)

3) Solve 5(24)= 120 so that:

120=3x
4) Divide 120 by 3 to solve for x
5) X= 40

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio 5:3 to answer the question.

5 = made free throws

3 = missed free throws

If she misses 24 free throws, compare the ratios 5:3 to x:24 (you are solving for x)

24 divided by 3 is 8, so multiply 5 by 8

You would get 40

yarga [219]

Answer:

B; (2,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So from the question, when we look at the given equation, its slope is -1/2

mathematically, when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1

thus;

m1 * m2 = -1

m2 * -1/2 = -1

-m2 = -2

m2 = 2

The general equation form is;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) = (4,0)

y-0 = 2(x-4)

y = 2x - 8

So, now we look at the point that will work for this equation

For the line that will work, if we substitute its x-value, we get the y-value

Let us take a look at option B

y = 2(2) -8 = 4-8 = -4

we can see that (2,-4) works

Answer:

c ln (x^3/y^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ln x - 3 lny

We know that a ln b = ln b^a

ln x^3 - ln y^3

We also know ln a - ln b = ln (a/b)

ln (x^3/y^3)
