Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
This is a puzzling one! The answer is indeed -3/4 but I was unable to prove it using mathematics appropriate to the "middle school" level. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
(To prove it I generated the first few terms of its Laurent series, a Calculus topic. The first few terms are -(3/4) + (41/64x) + and as x approaches minus infinity the term with "x" in the denominator goes to zero, leaving the constant value -3/4 as the answer. )
Thank you,
MrB
Y=2x+5 so order pair would be (1,7) and (2,9)
Answer:
There are 96 boys in the soccer league.
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply 160 by 60%, which is also 160*.6.
160*.6=96
Answer:
20 + 35x
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression 5(4 + 7x) and are asked to distrbute it.
When distributing, it's very simple, all you have to do is multiply the number outside the parenthesis with the numbers inside the parenthesis.
Therefore :
(5(4) + 5(7x))
20 + 35x
Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
= 
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
= 
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.
