ree-throws are worth 1 point. He scored four more 2-point baskets than he did 3-point baskets. The number of free-throws equaled the sum of the number of 2-point and 3-point shots made. How many free-throws, 2-point shots, and 3-point shots did he make?

Answer:

3 points = 2

2 points = 6

1 point = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total point scored = 26

Let number of 3 point basket = x

Number of 2 point basket = x + 4

Number of free throws = x + x + 4 = 2x + 4

Hence,

Total 3 points = 3x

Total 2 points 2(x + 4)

Total free throw points = 2x + 4

3x + 2(x + 4) + 2x + 4 = 26

3x + 2x + 8 + 2x + 4 = 26

7x + 12 = 26

7x = 26 - 12

7x = 14

x = 2

Number of 3 points = x = 2

2 points = (x+4) = 2+4 = 6

1 point = (2x+ 4) = 2(2) + 4 = 8

Darell parks his car in a parking garage. The garage charges a certain amount for the first hour and an hourly rate for each add
mestny [16]

Answer:

charges for the first hour = $7.55

charges for each additional hour = $1.55

c = 1.55h + 7.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = charges for the first hour

y = charges for each additional hour

x + 2y = 10.65 (1)

x + 5y = 15.30 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

5y - 2y = 15.30 - 10.65

3y = 4.65

y = 4.65/3

= 1.55

y = $1.55

Substitute y = 1.55 into

x + 2y = 10.65

x + 2(1.55) = 10.65

x + 3.10 = 10.65

x = 10.65 - 3.10

= 7.55

x = $7.55

c = 1.55h + 7.55

Solve for y. 3=7(1-1)<br><br>(it isn't 2)​
laiz [17]

Answer:

First off, I can't solve for y, there is no y variable.

Second, 3 = 7 ( 1 - 1 ) is not true because 3 ≠ 0 ( 3 doesn't equal 0 ) :

3 = 7 ( 1 - 1 )

3 = 7 ( 0 )  ( Simplify Parenthesis )

3 = 0 ( Multiply 7 and 0 )

3 ≠ 0
