Answer: They made 6 three point shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make your equation

(((6x1)+(27x2)+(3x)=78

Simplify

(6+54+3x=78)

60+3x=78

Subtract from both sides

3x=18

Divide from both sides

x=6

The basketball team scored 6 shots worth 3 points.

Monica [59]

Answer:

(-53)/80

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-23/30 + 5/48

Put -23/30 + 5/48 over the common denominator 240. -23/30 + 5/48 = (8 (-23))/240 + (5×5)/240:

(8 (-23))/240 + (5×5)/240

8 (-23) = -184:

(-184)/240 + (5×5)/240

5×5 = 25:

(-184)/240 + 25/240

-184/240 + 25/240 = (-184 + 25)/240:

(-184 + 25)/240

-184 + 25 = -159:

(-159)/240

The gcd of -159 and 240 is 3, so (-159)/240 = (3 (-53))/(3×80) = 3/3×(-53)/80 = (-53)/80:

Answer: (-53)/80

Which ordered pairs make the equation true? 3x+2y=−7 Select each correct answer. (3, −8)
Nikolay [14]
<h2>SOLVING</h2>

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{A. What is Asked}}

Which ordered pairs make the equation \bf{3x+2y=-7} true? Select all that apply. 3 options are given

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}

We can tell which ordered pairs make equations true by plugging in the coordinates.

\mathbb{ORDERED\;PAIR\;NUMBER\;ONE}

\bf{3(3)+2(-8)=-7} | simplify

\bf{9-16=-7} |simplify

\bf{-7\equiv-7} | this one checks

\mathbb{ORDERED\;PAIR\;NUMBER\;TWO}

\bf{3(-2)+2(-1)=-7} | simplify

\bf{-6-2=-7} | simplify

\bf{-8\neq-7} | this one does <em>not </em>check

\mathbb{ORDERED\;PAIR\;NUMBER\;THREE}

\bf{3(1)+2(-4)=-7} | simplify

\bf{3-8=-7} | simplify

\bf{-5\ne-7} | this one does <em>not</em> check

\rule{300}{1.7}

\bf{Result:}

              \bf{=The\;First\;Option

\boxed{\bf{aesthetic \not101}}

What steps to get the principle of a 30 year loan at 5.5%?
hoa [83]
Multiply 30 -- the number of years of the loan -- by the number of payments you make each year. For example, 30 X 12 = 360. You are making 360 payments over the course of the loan. Divide your mortgage interest rate by your total payments.
