Answer:

She made 12 two point basket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the number of 2 point basket is x and that of 3 point basket is y.

Based on the question the total numbers of basket is 14, that is x + y = 14 , and the total numbers of points is 30, which helps us with our second equation 2(x) +3(y)=30.

x + y = 14 eqn 1

2(x) +3(y)=30 eqn 2

Using elimination method multiplying eqn 1 by -3 and adding it to equation 2

-3x-3 y = -42 adding to eqn 2 gives

-x= -12

x=12. Which gives the number of the 2 points basket she made .

2.5( \frac{8.6}{2} ) - 1.8

Follow BODMAS rule.

always evaluate brackets first, followed by multiply or division then addition or subtraction from LEFT to RIGHT.

2.5( \frac{8.6}{2} ) - 1.8 \\  = 2.5(4.3) - 1.8 \\  = 10.75 - 1.8 \\  = 8.95

*Will give brainliest* A ladder, leaning against a wall, makes an angle of 20° with the ground. The foot of the ladder is 3 m fr
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The answer is 3.64m

This is because if you draw a diagram, and label all the sides of the triangle (opp, hyp, adj), the adjacent angle is 3m. You can now use the sine rule to find the hypotenuse (length of ladder) by doing: cos 30= 3/h. You divide cos 30 by 3 and you get the answer of 3.64m rounding to 2 decimal places.
