Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.

Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39

Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y

Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7

So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)

Question 1 (Essay Worth 10 points)

$394.51 is future value of money after 2 years.

What future value means?

  • A current asset's future value (FV), which is based on an estimated rate of growth, is its value at a later time.
  • Investors and financial planners use the future value to project how much an investment made now will be worth in the future.

The method that results in more money after 2 years is Peggy's investment.

Which method results in more money in 2 years?

The formula for calculating the future value of an investment:

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

m = number of compounding

N = number of years

Future value of Larry's investment: $350 x [1 + (0.04/4)]^(4 x 2) = $379

Future value of Peggy's investment: $350 x [1 + (0.06/12)]^(12 x 2) = $394.51

Amanda created a table to help her represent the sample space of spinning a spinner and flipping a coin.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

\sf \dfrac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Spinner choices:  Red, Green, Yellow, Blue

Coin choices: Heads, Tails

\large\begin{array}{| c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-5} & \sf Red & \sf Green & \sf Yellow & \sf Blue\\\cline{1-5} \sf Heads & RH & GH &YH & BH \\\cline{1-5} \sf Tails &RT & GT& YT& BT\\\cline{1-5}\end{array}

\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}

\implies \sf P(blue)=\dfrac{1}{4}

\implies \sf P(heads)=\dfrac{1}{2}

\implies \sf P(blue)\:and\:P(heads)=\dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}

PLEASE HELP ME <br><br> A<br><br> B<br><br> C<br><br> OR<br><br> D
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Examine the mathematical expression you're working on. For example, suppose you're given 5x + 3. There are two terms here, 5x and 3. Look for the variable. In this case, x is the variable.  In your case its c

Find the numerical coefficient of x. Remember to look for the number before the variable. In this case, 5 is the numerical coefficient. The term 3 is a constant and is separated from the variable by a plus sign.

Keep an eye out for negative coefficients. For example, suppose you're given the statement -y + 7 + 98. You would first identify the variable, y.

Look for the numerical coefficient of y. In this case, a "1" is implied before the variable, but it's negative in this instance. Therefore, the coefficient of y is negative 1.
