He has a 26% of getting a strike, which means he has a 74% chance of not getting a strike ( 100% - 26% = 74%).
Multiply the chance of not getting a strike by the number of attempts:
0.74 x 0.74 x 0.74 x 0.74 x 0.74 = 0.22
The answer is B) 0.22
The probability of making a free throw is 77%, the probability of not making one would be 23% ( 100% - 77% = 23%).
Add the probability of making the first one ( 0.77) by the probability of making the second one multiplied by the probability of missing the second one ( 0.77x 0.23)
0.77 + (0.77 x 0.23)
0.77 + 0.18 = 0.95
The answer is D) 95%

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '4'.
4(2xy + x2 + y2)
Factor a trinomial.
4((x + y)(x + y))
Final result:
4(x + y)(x + y)</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
x²-y²=12
(x-y)(x+y)=12
but x-y=4
4(x+y)=12
x+y=12/4
x+y=3
lets make x the subject of the formula
x=3-y
since x-y=4
(3-y)-y=4
3-y-y=4
-2y=1
y=-1/2
then x=3-y
x=3-(-1/2)
x=(6--1)/2
x=7/2
therefore; x²+2xy+y
=(7/2)²+2×7/2×-1/2+(-1/2)
=49/4-7/2-1/2
=(49-14-2)/4
=33/4
=8.25
=8
