You do 4/1 divided by 2/9
4 2
_ divided by _
1 9
Equals 18
(You have to multiply by the reciprocal)
4/1 times 1/4
And
2/9 times 1/4
Hope I helped!!!
It is positive.

Answer:
3 points = 2
2 points = 6
1 point = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total point scored = 26
Let number of 3 point basket = x
Number of 2 point basket = x + 4
Number of free throws = x + x + 4 = 2x + 4
Hence,
Total 3 points = 3x
Total 2 points 2(x + 4)
Total free throw points = 2x + 4
3x + 2(x + 4) + 2x + 4 = 26
3x + 2x + 8 + 2x + 4 = 26
7x + 12 = 26
7x = 26 - 12
7x = 14
x = 2
Number of 3 points = x = 2
2 points = (x+4) = 2+4 = 6
1 point = (2x+ 4) = 2(2) + 4 = 8
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind here. You can list all of the possible points in a solution region, or you can list a few points to give the general pattern. Though this method requires a bit more work than simply graphing and showing the solution shaded region. A visual is often more efficient at conveying a message especially to those who aren't proficient with algebra. I'm sure there are other reasons why graphs are the better choice, but that's all I could think of really.
