Answer: 0.6375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the event that she'll make the first shot is given as P(A) while making the second shot is P(B). Therefore, P(A/B) = 0.85

Therefore, the probability that she makes both free throws will be denoted as:

= 0.75 × 0.85

= 0.6375

If the length of a pool is 8 more than twice the width and the total area is 960 square feet, find the length and width of the r
melomori [17]

Answer:

l=48, w=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool be w feet, then the length will be:

l = 2w + 8

The area of the pool is 960 square feet.

This means that:

w(2w + 8) = 960

Expand and rewrite in standard form to get:

2 {w}^{2}  + 8w - 960 = 0

{w}^{2}  + 4w  - 480 = 0

{w}^{2}  + 24w   - 20w- 480 = 0

{w}(w+ 24) - 20(w + 24) = 0

Factor to get:

(w+ 24)(w  - 20) = 0

w =  - 24 \: or \: w   =  20

We discard the negative value because magnitude is positive.

This means

l = 2 \times 20 + 8 = 48

In the system -12c+3d=6 and -3c+6d=-9, which expression could you use for substitution?. A. d=-1/2c-3/2. B.c=-2d+3. C.c=1/4d-1/2
nikdorinn [45]
The system:
- 12 c + 3 d = 6
- 3 c + 6 d = - 9
----------------------
The 1st equation:
- 12 c = - 3 d + 6  / * ( - 1) ( multiple both sides by -1 )
12 c = 3 d - 6  /  : 12  ( divide both sides by 12 )
c = d / 4 - 1/2
Answer:
C ) c = 1/4 d - 1/2
