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! :)

1. 1/9 since you take all the "a"s in the words which is 2/18
2.2/9 same thing as above
3.18/18 since there is no "O" it's a trick question
4.3/9
5.5/6 since you don't count 6
6.1/2 and 1/2 coins are always 1/2 unless you flip twice
7.5/13
8.1/2 because 1,3,5 odd 2,4,6 even 
Hope that helps

Match each equation to its factorized version and solution.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

24x -{6x}^{2}  = 0 \: matches \: with \: 6x(4 - x) \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \ \: or \:  \: x = 4

2 {x}^{2}  + 6x = 0 \: matches \: with \: 2x(x + 3) = 0 \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \: or \: x =  - 3

4x -  {x}^{2}  = 0 \: matches \: with \: x(4 - x) = 0 \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \: or \: x = 4

14x -  {7x}^{2}  = 0 \: matches \: with \: 7x(2 - x) = 0 \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \: or \: x = 2

-4y>2x+4 What is the slope of this
vovikov84 [41]
Answer: -1/2

Explanation: -4y > 2x + 4; isolate the y by dividing both sides by -4 and get:
y = -2/4x + 4; simplify
y = -1/2x + 4

In y = mx + b; m is the slope

In this case, -1/2 is the slope
