Answer: Joe hit the target 4 times.
Explanation: We can write this scenario as a system of equations.
Let’s express the number of times he hits the target with x.
Let’s express the number of times he misses the target with y.
“He earned 20 points each time he hit the target but lost 50 points when he miss. Joe ended the night with negative 470 points...”
20x - 50y = -470
“...after 15 shots.”
x + y = 15
Let’s write the whole system of equations.
20x - 50y = -470
x + y = 15
Let’s solve the second equation for y.
x + y = 15
Subtract x from both sides.
y = 15 - x
Let’s substitute y in the first equation with 15 - x.
20x - 50(15 - x) = -470
Distribute -50 among 15 and -x in the term -50(15 - x).
20x - 750 + 50x = -470
Combine like terms on the left side.
70x - 750 = -470
Add 750 on both sides.
70x = 280
Divide both sides by 70.
x = 4
Since we know that x = 4, we know that Joe hit the target 4 times.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
It has the greatest value denomination in the number. We know that because it is the number followed by other numbers.
Best of luck
To find the slope, we can use the formula m = y change/x change. Since we already have 2 points, we can subtract the second coordinates from the first ones.
1. (-18-(-18))/(15-6) = 0/9 = 0. m=0x
2. (16-12)/0-8) = 4/-8 = -1/2. m = -1/2x
Hope this helps.
6a=p
6(60)=360
60+360=420
the answer is 60 angelfish and 360 parrot fish.
To solve the problem divide the number of elephants by 8 (48 divided by 8 is 6), and then multiply the solution by 5 (6 times 5 is 30).
You can put it in a table like this:
5 10 15 20 25 30 - Monkeys
8 16 24 32 40 48 - Elephants
