We can factor 120 into
2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5
I think there are nine different possibilities
1) 8 * 3 * 5
2) 4 * 2 * 15
3) 4 * 6 * 5
4) 4 * 10 * 3
5) 2 * 2 * 30
6) 2 * 3 * 20
7) 2 * 5 * 12
8) 2 * 6 * 10
9) 2 * 15 * 4
Because it’s an equalacteral it should be 60
You have to distribute!
6(x) = 6x and 6(-6)=-36
So now you have 6x-36=-3(-x+3)
Now do the same on the other side.
-3(-x)=3x -3(3)=-9
So now, 6x-36=3x-9
Combine the like terms:
Subtract 3x in both sides.
6x-3x=3x
Now: 3x-36=-9
Add 36 in both sides.
3x=27
Divide by 3 on both sides to get x alone.
3x/3= x 27/3=9
X=9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of free throws = x
And the number of regular field goals = y
Total shots made by the team = 31
Equation for the shots will be,
x + y = 31 ------(1)
If the team gets 1 point for free throws and 2 points for a regular field goal,
x + 2y = 49 --------(2)
[total points gained by the team = 49]
1). Option (2) is the correct option.
2). Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2),
(x + 2y) - (x + y) = 49 - 31
y = 18
Therefore, number of regular field goals made by the team = 18
