How to solve this equation

1 answer:

6 0

Set up an equation for each store by multiplying the cost of the basketball by the number of basketballs bought (b) and add the cost of the hoop:

Hoops House: total = 20b + 200

Baller Basement: total = 15b + 250

Now to solve for b, set the two equations equal to each other:

20b + 200 = 15b + 250

Subtract 15b from both sides:

5b + 200 = 250

Subtract 200 from both sides:

5b = 50

Divide both sides by 5:

B = 10

The answer is 10 basketballs

1st Question

A. 85

2nd Question

B. 71

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Question

{90 + 94 + 96 + 90} = 370/4 = 92.5

{95 + 99} = 194/2 = 97

{87 + 75 + 82 + 85} = 329/4 = 82.25

{71} = 71/1 = 71

.20(92.5) +.25(97) +.30(82.25) +.25(71) = 85.175 Rounded-up = 85

2nd Question

.10(95) +.20(80) +.50(67) +.20(60) = 71

The formula that describes an object's motion is given by S=ut+1/2at^2 , where S is the distance traveled, u is the initial velo

RSB [31]

S = ut + (1/2)a(t²) Subtract ut from both sides
(1/2)a(t²) = S - ut Multiply both sides by 2
a(t²) = 2s - 2ut Divide both sides by t²
a= 2s/t² - 2u/t

a= (2S - 2ut)/t²

Answer is C) but there should be parentheses around the term (2S-2ut)
