Answer:
He made 5 2-pointers and 4 3-pointers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of 2-pointers he scored.
Let y = number of 3 pointers he scored.
The total number of shots he made is x + y, and it it equals 9.
The first equation is
x + y = 9
The total number of points he scored on 2-pointers is 2x. The total number of points he scored on 3-pointers is 3y. The total number of points he scored with 2-pointers and 3-pointers is 2x + 3y. It equals 22.
The second equation is
2x + 3y = 22
We have a system of 2 equations.
x + y = 9
2x + 3y = 22
We will use the substitution method.
Solve the first equation for x.
x = 9 - y
Now substitute 9 - y in for x in the second equation.
2x + 3y = 22
2(9 - y) + 3y = 22
18 - 2y + 3y = 22
y + 18 = 22
y = 4
Now we substitute 4 for y in the first equation and solve for x.
x + y = 9
x + 4 = 9
x = 5
Answer: He made 5 2-pointers and 4 3-pointers
Check:
5 2-pointers and 4 3-popinters are a total of 9 shots, so the number of shots is correct.
Now we check the number of points.
5 * 2 + 4 * 3 = 10 + 12 = 22
22 points is the correct total.
Our answer is correct.
Answer:
x = -8/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the equation easier to work with, our first step will be to make all of our fractions have a common denominator. Both 2 and 4 are factors of 8, so that will be our common denominator.
Old Equation: 1/4x - 1/8 = 7/8 + 1/2x
New Equation (with common denominators): 2/8x - 1/8 = 7/8 + 4/8x
Now, we're going to begin to isolate the x variable. First, we're going to subtract 2/8x from both sides, eliminating the first variable term on one side completely.
2/8x - 1/8 = 7/8 + 4/8x
-2/8x -2/8x
__________________
-1/8 = 7/8 + 2/8x
We're one step closer to our x variable being isolated. Next, we're going to move the constants to the left side of the equation. To do this, we must subtract by 7/8 on both sides.
-1/8 = 7/8 + 2/8x
- 7/8 -7/8
______________
-1 = 2/8x
Our last step is to multiply 2/8x by its reciprocal in order to get the x coefficient to be 1. This means multiply both sides by 8/2.
(8/2) -1 = 2/8x (8/2)
The 2/8 and 8/2 cancel out, and you're left with:
-8/2 = x
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 35/36
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-1/4) = 13/6 Distribute
3x-3/4=13/6 Add 3/4 on both sides
3x = 35/12 Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 35/36
You'll actually need to graph for the first segment
but the second part can be solved with algebra
The equation of the line is y(x)=-x
if we test the co0ordinates we can find if the point lies on the line
(5,5)
y(x)=-x
Using the x co-ordinate
y(5)= -5
y=-5
Leaving us with (5,-5)
Because (5,-5) is not (5,5)
This is not a point on the line
The slope of the line is -1
The ratio or the relationship of the toy to the large building is one foot to every 400 feet so in mathematical terms it’s shown as a ratio like this... 400:1 and since they are asking about the real building as the primary reason for the ratio it’s number goes first because they are enquiring about it’s relationship to the small one.(which is worded weirdly so I think they are trying to get you messed up)
Good luck
