Answer:

She would have scored 75 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.

This means that this question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?

Using a rule of three:

50 points - 40 shots

x points - 60 shots

Applying cross multiplication:

$40x = 50*60$

Dividing both sides by 40

$x = 50*1.5 = 75$

She would have scored 75 points.

Suppose you have three consecutive integers.The greatest of the three integers is twice as great as the sum of the first two.Wha

vredina [299]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since there are three consecutive integers, you have the equations

x, x+1, x+2 where x is the smallest number.

The greatest of the three integers= x+2

Finish setting up your equation;

2(x+x+1)=x+2

Combine like terms;

2(2x+1)=x+2

Distribute;

4x+2=x+2

3x=0

x=0

x+1=1

x+2=2

Hope this helps:) Have a good day!

If –y + 2x^2 – x = -5y^3 then find dy / dx in terms of x and y.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

dy/dx = $\frac{4x-1}{1-15y^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

-y + 2x²- x = -5y³

2x² - x = y - 5y³

4x - 1 = dy/dx - 15y².dy/dx

dy/dx(1 - 15y²) = 4x - 1

dy/dx = $\frac{4x-1}{1-15y^{2} }$

A man borrowed $8000. He paid $10100 after 9 months for the debt. What was the interest rate per annum?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

3.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = 10100 - 8000 or 2100

I = Prt

2100 = 8000(9/12)r

2100 = 600r

2100/600 = r

3.5 = r
