Dwayne scored 55 points in the last basketball game, which is 10 points more than his previous personal best. Lebron scored 15 p

oints more than Chris in the same game. Lebron scored the same number of points as Dwayne’s previous personal best. Let d represent the number of points Dwayne scored during his previous personal best and c represent the number of Chris’s points.
a. How many points did Chris score during the game?
b. If these are the only three players who scored, what was the team’s total number of points at the end of the game?

5 0

Answer: a) 30, b) 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the number of points Scored by Dwayne be 'd'.

Number of points in the last basket ball game = 55 points

According to question, we get that

d+10=55\\\\d=55-10\\\\d=45

Let the number of points that Chris's score be 'c'.

Number of points Lebron scored = 45

According to question, number of points scored by Chris is given by

c+15=45\\\\c=45-15\\\\c=30

a. How many points did Chris score during the game?

c = 30

b. If these are the only three players who scored, what was the team’s total number of points at the end of the game?

45+45+30=90+30\\\\=120

Hence, a) 30, b) 120

6. Write an equation of a line that is Parallel to the line: y = 3x -3
jeka94

Answer:

3x - y -6 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the Equation of the line parallel to the given equation of line . The given equation of the line is ,

\rm\implies y = 3x - 3

<u>Slope </u><u>Intercept</u><u> Form</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\rm\implies y = mx + c

where ,

  • m is slope
  • c is y intercept .

Therefore , the Slope of the line is 3 . Let the parallel line passes through ( 3,3) . We know that the parallel lines have same slope . Therefore the slope of the parallel line will also be 3 .

<u>Using</u><u> point</u><u> slope</u><u> form</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\rm\implies y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)  \\\\\rm\implies y - 3 = 3( x - 3 ) \\\\\rm\implies y -3 = 3x -9 \\\\\rm\implies 3x -y -9+3=0\\\\\rm\implies \boxed{\rm\red{ 3x -y -6=0}}

Borland, Inc., has a profit margin of 5.6 percent on sales of $13.6 million. If the firm has debt of $6.4 million and total asse
aniked [119]

Answer:

ROA = 7.77 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Borland, Inc., has a profit margin of 5.6 percent on sales of $13.6 million

Thus, profit = 5.6% of  $13.6 million

profit = 5.6 / 100 *  $13.6 million = $0.7616 million

Profit is same as net income

Formula for ROA (return on asset) = net income/ total asset

total asset as given = $9.8 million

Thus, ROA = $0.7616/ $9.8 = 0.0777

ROA in percentage = 0.0777*100 = 7.77

Thus, ROA is 7.77 percent .

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=-0.75x and that passes through the point (8,0)
Mila [183]

Equation of line parallel to y = -0.75x that passes through (8,0) is: y = -0.75x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

y=-0.75x

The coefficient of x is the slope of the line so the slope of given line is: -0.75

As parallel lines have equal slopes so the required equation of line will have the same slope.

The slope-intercept form is:

y = mx+b

Putting the value of the slope

y = -0.75x+b

To find the value of b, putting the point in the equation

0 = -0.75(8)+b\\0 = -6+b\\b = 6

Putting the values of m and b, we get

y = -0.75x-6

Hence,

Equation of line parallel to y = -0.75x that passes through (8,0) is: y = -0.75x-6
