Tony was Challenged to a half-court shooting competition. For every half-court shot that he makes, he will earn 20 points. For e

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Tony make 4 half-court shots and misses 16 half-court shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points earned for every successful, half-court shots = $20$

Points deducted for missing the shots = $5$ or $-5$

Total number of shots in the game = $20$

Final points earned by Tony = $0$

According to the question:

Let the number of successful half-court shot be $x$

And the number of shots missed be $20-x$

So,

In terms of points we can re-write it as:

⇒ $20(x)-5(20-x) =0$

⇒ $20x-100+5x=0$

⇒ $25x-100=0$

⇒ $25x-100+100=100$

⇒ $25x=100$

⇒ $\frac{25x}{25} =\frac{100}{25}$

⇒ $x=\frac{100}{25}$

⇒ $x=4$

Tony make 'x' shots that is 4 and the number of shot he missed is (20-x) =(20-4)=16

Points X and Z are on a number line, and point Y partitions

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The coordinate of $Z$ is 13.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following information:

$\frac{XY}{XZ} = \frac{5}{12}$ (1)

$\frac{YZ}{XZ} = \frac{7}{12}$ (2)

$X = 0.4$ (3)

$Y = 5.8$ (4)

From (2), we have the following expression:

$YZ = \frac{7}{12}\cdot XZ$

$Y-Z =\frac{7}{12}\cdot (X-Z)$

$Y - Z = \frac{7}{12}\cdot X -\frac{7}{12}\cdot Z$

$Y-\frac{7}{12}\cdot X = Z-\frac{7}{12}\cdot Z$

$\frac{5}{12}\cdot Z = Y-\frac{7}{12}\cdot X$

$5\cdot Z = 12\cdot Y-7\cdot X$

$Z = \frac{12}{5}\cdot Y-\frac{7}{5}\cdot X$ (5)

If we know that $Y = 5.8$ and $X = 0.4$ , then the coordinate of $Z$ is:

$Z = \frac{12}{5}\cdot (5.8)-\frac{7}{5}\cdot (0.4)$

$Z = 13.36$

The coordinate of $Z$ is 13.36.
