Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.
Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39
Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y
Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7
So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)
Answer: Choice B) -3
------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
f(x) = (x+2)/2
f(-8) = (-8+2)/2 ... replace every x with -8; use PEMDAS
f(-8) = (-6)/2
f(-8) = -3
If (a, b) is on the graph of a function f(x), then (b, a) is on the graph of the inverse.
We have points on the graph of a function: {(-3, 9), (-1, 1), (0, 0), (2, 4)}.
The points on the graph of the inverse: {(9, -3), (1, -1), (0, 0), (4, 2)}.
<h3>Answer: (4, 2), (0, 0), (1, -1).</h3>
The larger the negative number the smaller the value:
The order would be:
-4, -1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 2
