Nicole is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, she made some three point shots and some two point shots. Nicol
e scored a total of 30 points and made 5 more three point shots than two point shots. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of three point shots made, x, and the number of two point shots made, y
The x variable represents the number of three point shots made and the y variable represents the number of two point shots made. Since the lines intersect at the point (8,3) we can say:
Nicole made 8 three point shots and 3 two point shots.
To solve this question all you have to do is input the X and y coordinates and test each point in the question. To see which of those points. Have the left hand side equal to the right hand side after doing all of the operations.
First set up the equation (Area)80=bh/2 then set up another equation, (height) h=4+2b (base). After this you can substitute h in the equation to end up with 80=(b(2b+4))/2 simplify it to get 80=b^2+2b then solve. The base is 8 meters, plug into the formula that we made before and you find the height is 20 meters.
In scientific notation, you need only the one's place, so 36.5 would not work. I hope this helps, I know this is a day late and you probably figured it out, but just in case you didn't, here is the answer :)
