5 0

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made

:

1) x + y = 26

:

2) 2x + 3y = 60

:

solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2

:

x = 26 - y

:

2(26 - y) +3y = 60

:

52 -2y +3y = 60

:

y = 8

:

x = 26 - 8 = 18

:

******************************

The team made 18 2-point shots

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

\displaystyle 15\:feet\:wide \\ 32\:feet\:long

Step-by-step explanation:

{2 + 2w = l

{94 = 2w + 2l

94 = 2w + 2[2 + 2w]

94 = 2w + 4 + 4w

94 = 4 + 6w

- 4 - 4

_________

\displaystyle \frac{90}{6} = \frac{6w}{6}

\displaystyle 15 = w[Plug this back into both equations above to get the length of 32 feet]; \displaystyle 32 = l

Which expression gives the solutions -5x+2x^2=-6x?(1pt)
irina [24]
This is the concept of algebra, the solution of the given expression will be given as follows;
-5x+2x²=-6x
adding 5x on both sides we get
5x-5x+2x²=-6x+5x
2x²=-x
divide both sides by 2
(2x²)/2=-x/2
x²=-x/2
divide both sides by x
(x²)/x=-x/(2x)
x=-1/2
the answer is x=-1/2

What’s three points that satisfy the system of inequality’s of 4x+6y&lt;24
Vlada [557]

Answer:

(0,0), (1,1), (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When testing to find possible points in situations like this, I always start by testing with the origin point (0,0).

In this case:

4x+6y<24 ==> 0 + 0 < 24  TRUE, it satisfies the inequality.

We then try with (1,1):

4x+6y<24 ==> 4 + 6 < 24  TRUE, it satisfies the inequality.

And with (2,2):

4x+6y<24 ==> 8 + 12 < 24  TRUE, it satisfies the inequality.
