Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Number of scorings (both Teams) = 18

Let :

x = number of 5 point score ; y = number of 2 point score

Total points scored = 34 + 29 = 63

x + y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 63 - - (2)

From (1)

y = 18 - x

In (2) ; we have ;

5x + 2(18 - x) = 63

5x + 36 - 2x = 63

3x + 36 = 63

3x = 63 - 36

3x = 27

x = 9

9 5-point plays

Evaluate the expression shown for x = 9.
tatiyna

Answer:

B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 9 an improper fraction, then multiply by -5/6.

-5/6 times 9/1 = -45/6.

-45/6 cannot be simplified, so you make it a mixed number.

-7 1/2.

Add the 7 to -7 1/2 and that cancels out to 1/2

Which of the following absolute value equations has no solutions?Group of answer choices
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The absolute value measures the distance a number is away from the origin (zero) on the number line. A number can be to the left or right of zero on the number line, but the distance away from zero is always positive. Graphically:

In other words:

• If d is positive and

\begin{gathered} |x|=d \\ \text{ then} \\ x=d\text{ or }x=-d \end{gathered}

• If d is negative and

\begin{gathered} |x|=-d \\ \text{then} \\ \text{ No solution, because distance (d) can not be negative.} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation that has no solutions is:

\boldsymbol{|x|=-3}
