5 0

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

32*2 is the maximum amount that we assume the basketball player can score. 64 is 7 away from 57 so we know that the basketball player scored 7 1 point. That means the basketball player scored 25 2 point shots.

What we did was find out the maximum possible score. Then we subtracted what score the basketball player got from the highest possible score. Now we find the difference of the scores. We notice that the two types of points has a difference of 1.

Question
maria [59]

Answer:

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ounces of raisins

y -----> the number of ounces of nuts

we know that

x+y=24 -----> equation A

x=2y -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(2y)+y=24

3y=24

y=8 ounces of nuts

Find the value of x

x=2(8)=16 ounces of raisins

therefore

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Maria and Nate graphed lines on a coordinate plane. Maria's line is represented by the equation y = -5/6x +8. Nate's line is per
eduard

Answer:

c)   6x - 5y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:  y=mx+b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

Maria's line:  y=-\dfrac{5}{6}x+8

Therefore, the slope of Maria's line is -\frac{5}{6}

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, the product of their slopes will be -1.

Therefore, the slope of Nate's line (m) is:

\begin{aligned}\implies m \times -\dfrac{5}{6} &=-1\\m & =\dfrac{6}{5}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the linear equation of Nate's line is:

y=\dfrac{6}{5}x+b\quad\textsf{(where b is some constant)}

Rearranging this to standard form:

\implies y=\dfrac{6}{5}x+b

\implies 5y=6x+5b

\implies 6x-5y=-5b

Therefore, <u>option c</u> could be an equation for Nate's line.
