17 one point shots and 39 two point shots were made

Solution:

Given that,

At a basketball​ game, a team made 56 successful shots

They were a combination of​ 1- and​ 2-point shots

Let "x" be the number of 1 point shots

Then, 56 - x is the number of two point shots

The team scored 95 points in all

Therefore,

1(number of 1 point shots) + 2(number of two point shots) = 95

x + 2(56 - x) = 95

x + 112 - 2x = 95

x = 112 - 95

x = 17

Then, number of two point shots = 56 - x = 56 - 17 = 39

Thus 17 one point shots and 39 two point shots were made

The disctance between -8 and 5 on the number line can be found by which expression??
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
It's A.  First of all, one of the only 2 things in math that will NEVER be negative is distances/lengths and times.  You have a distance here, so because one of your 2 numbers is negative, you have to take the absolute value of the difference.  -8-5 = -11, but the absolute value of that is 11.  Put the numbers on a number line and count the units between -8 and +5 and there are 11 units between those 2 numbers.

Find the center and radius of the circle (x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=81
sasho [114]

The equation of a circle is written as ( x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

h and k is the center point of the circle and r is the radius.

In the given equation (x+3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 81

h = -3

k = 1

r^2 = 81

Take the square root of both sides:

r = 9

The center is (-3,1) and the radius is 9
