Answer:

2 points throw = 37

3 points throw = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let number of

2 points = x ; 3 points = y

x + y = 48 - - - (1)

2x + 3y = 107 ---(2)

x = 48 - y

Then ;

2(48 - y) + 3y = 107

96 - 2y + 3y = 107

96 + y = 107

y = 107 - 96

y = 11

From (1)

x = 48 - 11

x = 37

2 points throw = 37

3 points throw = 11

Refer to the diagram below

If we draw a line that connects the center of rotation to one of the points, say point N, and take this line as the 0° position, then we need three 'turn' of 90° to get to 270°.

Coordinate of N' (-3, 4)

Judy spent 3 hours driving 165 miles She thinks

sasho [114]

Step-by-step explanation:

she drove already 165 miles.

she will reach her destination, if she drives 4 more hours by going 65 miles/hour.

that would mean she would travel

65×4 = 260 miles

in these 4 hours.

so, the total trip is then 165 + 260 = 425 miles.

but what I find strange is that your teacher specified how long it took her to drive the first 165 miles.

as you can see above, it would make no difference for the calculation of the total trip length in miles.

this is either an attempt to confuse us, or the message is that Judy has to achieve an average of 65 miles/hour for the whole trip, and the problem definition was just imperfectly phrased.

if that is the case, then things look a bit different, as her average speed was only 165/3 = 55 miles/hour for the first 3 hours and 165 miles.

so,

(165 + x)/(3 + 4) hours = 65/hour

(165 + x)/7 hours = 65/hour

165 + x = 65 × 7 hours / hour = 65×7 = 455 miles

x = 455 - 165 = 290 miles

she would have to go

290 miles / 4 hours = 72.5 miles/hour

for these next 4 hours (and 290 miles) to reach an overall average speed of 65 miles/hour.

and the total trip would be then

165 + 290 = 455 miles

I am not sure, which your teacher wants here.

65 miles/hour average speed just for the next 4 hours, or to speed up that much for the next 4 hours that the overall trip average is then 65 miles/hour.

again, the phrasing of the problem definition suggests the first case, but the fact that the travel time for the first part of the trip is given could suggest the second case (as this information is not needed for the first case).

I need help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

We can find the value of x through a proportion. Since these two triangles are similar, their sides are in proportion.

4 is to 12 as 5 is to x
Remember to say 12, not 8! 8 is only part of the whole side. We can also simplify 4 is to 12 to 1 is to 3.

1/3 = 5/x
Cross multiply
x = 15
Hope this helps!

Thomas wants to invite Madeline to a party. He has an 80% chance of bumping into her at school. Otherwise, he’ll call her on the

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Thomas bumping into her at school is 80%, so the probability of not bumping into her is 100% - 80% = 20%.

If he doesn't bump into her (20% chance), he will call her, and the probability of asking her in this case is 60%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

$P_1 = 20\% * 60\% = 12\%$

If he bumps into her (80% chance), the probability of asking her is 90%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

$P_2 = 80\% * 90\% = 72\%$

To find the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party, we just have to sum the probabilities we found above:

$P = P_1 + P_2$

$P = 12\% + 72\% = 84\%$
