Answer:

so to get a 85 you would have to make 20 to 45 free throws without any fouls and anyone taking the basketball away from you if you do then it is for sure a 0 and it will go on your record

Answer:

(12 + x)/(15 + x) = 85/100

Step-by-step explanation:

12/15 = 0.8

She currently has an 80% rate.

To raise it, she needs to make x shots. Since she makes all x shots, we add x to both the number of shots made and attempts.

She will make 12 + x shots in 15 + x attempts.

We want that rate to be 0.85 which is the same as 85%.

(12 + x)/(15 + x) = 85/100

(12 + x)/(15 + x) = 17/20

20(12 + x) = 17(15 + x)

240 + 20x = 255 + 17x

3x = 15

x = 5

Answer:

The equation is (12 + x)/(15 + x) = 85/100.

Identify the domain of the function shown in the graph
Brut [27]

Using it's concept, the domain of the function shown in the graph is:

B. -6 \leq x \leq 6.

<h3>What is the domain of a function?</h3>

The domain of a function is the set that contains all possible input values for the function. In a graph, the domain is the set that contains all values of x.

From this graph, the function is defined for values of x between -6 and 6, hence the domain is given by:

B. -6 \leq x \leq 6.

Carolyn was asked to solve the following system of equations. Her work is shown. What is the solution to the system of linear eq
Natalka [10]

Answer:

(11, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Carolyn's work is incorrect. Below is the correct solution:

Given:

3x - 2y = 7 ----› Equation 1

y = x + 2 -----› Equation 2

Substitute y = (x + 2) in equation 1

3x - 2y = 7 ----› Equation 1

3x - 2(x + 2) = 7 (substitution)

3x - 2(x) -2(+2) = 7 (distributive property)

[Note: this is where Carolyn made a mistake]

3x - 2x - 4 = 7

Collect like terms

x - 4 = 7

x = 7 + 4 (addition property of equality).

x = 11

Substitute x = 11 in equation 2

y = x + 2 -----› Equation 2

y = 11 + 2 (substitution)

y = 13

✅The solution to the system of equations would be:

(11, 13)

rashid can paint 2 square feet of fence in 10 minutes how long will it take him to paint a fence 6 feet high by 25 feet long
Stells [14]
The area of the fence is 6*25=150 square feet.
It will take him 150 / 2 = 75 of 10-minute intervals. 75 min *10 = 750 min = 750/60 hours = 12.5 hours.
