Multiply amount bought by price:
Total = 40 x 0.68 = $ 27.20
If you use a distributive or multiply is all kind a same
Answer:
The value that will create an equation with no solutions is 5x.
Step-by-step explanation:
No solution would mean that there is no answer to the equation. It is impossible for the equation to be true no matter what value we assign to the variable.
To create a no solution equation, we can need to create a mathematical statement that is always false. To do this, we need the variables on both sides of the equation to cancel each other out and have the remaining values to not be equal.
Use distributive property on the left side first.
![3(x - 4) = [blank] - 2x +7\\\\3x-12=5x - 2x +7\\\\3x-12=3x+7\\\\3x-12+12=3x+7+12\\\\3x=3x+19\\\\3x-3x=3x+19-3x\\\\0=19](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%28x%20-%204%29%20%3D%20%5Bblank%5D%20-%202x%20%2B7%5C%5C%5C%5C3x-12%3D5x%20-%202x%20%2B7%5C%5C%5C%5C3x-12%3D3x%2B7%5C%5C%5C%5C3x-12%2B12%3D3x%2B7%2B12%5C%5C%5C%5C3x%3D3x%2B19%5C%5C%5C%5C3x-3x%3D3x%2B19-3x%5C%5C%5C%5C0%3D19)
Notice that we combined like terms first and then eliminated the variable from one side. When that happened, the variable on the other side was eliminated as well, giving us a false result.
Since zero does not equal nineteen, we know we have an equation with no solution.
We can convert that into a fraction of 100 for the percentage.
4/20= 20/100
(multiply both by 5)
So, the basketball player makes 20% of the throws.
I hope this helps!
