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

Find the distance between the points (2,3) (-3,-6)
Valentin [98]

Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (-3,-6) to (2,3), x increases by 5 (this is the horizontal distance between (2,3) and (-3,-6) ) and y decreases by 9 (vertical distance).

We apply the Pythagorean Theorem here:

d^2 = x^2 + y^2, or

d^2 = (5)^2 + (-9)^2 = 25 + 81 = 106

Thus, the distance between (2,3) and (-3,-6) is d = sqrt(106), or approx.

10.3.

The model of a trinomial is shown.
galben [10]

The factors of the trinomial based on the information given include:

C. x – 7

E. x + 2

<h3>What is a trinomial?</h3>

It should be noted that a trinomial is an algebraic expression that has three non-zero terms. Here, the examples of a trinomial expression: x + y + z is a trinomial in three variables x, y and z. Also, 2a² + 5a + 7 is a trinomial in one variables.

In this case, the algebra tile configuration has 0 tiles are in the Factor 1 spot and 0 tiles are in the Factor 2 spot. 24 tiles are in the Product spot: 1 is labeled + x squared, 7 are labeled negative x. Here, the trinomial is x² - 5x - 14.

The factors will be:

x² - 5x - 14.

x² + 2x - 7x - 14

x(x + 2) - 7(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x - 7)

A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial.

In conclusion, the correct options are C and E.
