Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
=
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
=
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.
-T.B.
The solution depends on the value of 
. To make things simple, assume 
. The homogeneous part of the equation is
and has characteristic equation
which admits the characteristic solution
.
For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be
. Then
So you have
This means
and so the general solution would be
and has characteristic equation
which admits the characteristic solution
For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be
So you have
This means
and so the general solution would be
Answer: 6
Explanation
If we divide our figure into six, we get the following figure:
As we can see, we are left with 6 equal parts. This can be confirmed by solving the equation:
