Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
Answer: Choice B) 128
Explanation:
We'll add up the given arc measures and then cut the result in half to get the angle formed by the intersecting chords (that subtend the arcs in question).
chord angle = (arc1+arc2)/2
x = (54+202)/2
x = 256/2
x = 128
3/4 is longer than 2/15 by 37/60
