Answer:

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:

4x = 50 × 60

Divide from both sides

x = 50 × 1.25 = 75

Answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:

It asked for how many 60 shots would score.

You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them

50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5

So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5

Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.

60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5

& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.

Hope it made sense :)

F(x)=3x-7 find the value of c so that f(c) =20 is true
Andreas93 [3]

<u>Answer</u>:

c = 9

<u>Explanation</u>:

given: f(x)=3x-7

<em>if f(c) =20</em>

To solve this replace x with c and then y is 20.

<u>Solve</u>:

3c - 7 = 20

3c = 27

c = 27 ÷ 3

c = 9

Determine the value of each unknown angles.<br><br> HELP PLEASE DO ANY! I’ll give you brilliance
zlopas [31]

For D:

A triangle always has 180 degrees total. No more, no less. Seeing as though all the sides and angles are the same length, we can just divide 180 by 3, giving us 60. x = 60 degrees.

For E:

We can see there is a 90 degree symbol that surmises both angles. We know the lower angle is 30 degrees, so m must equal 60 degrees.

For G:

Same concept as D, except we gotta do a bit of math. A triangle always has 180 degrees, So we add 50 and 55 together and get 105. Subtract 105 from 180 and we get 75. Therefore, your angle is 75 degrees.

For H:

The 75 degree angle and m are parallel, with the same line passing through it, meaning that m is identical to the other angle. m = 75.
