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.

The pitch of a roof is its slope. The roof of a home rises vertically a distance of 8 ft through a horizontal distance of 15 ft.
PIT_PIT [208]
If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333 </span> </span> </span>
To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333  </span> </span> </span> and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

31 - 8a = 5 ( - 4 - 5a )
timama [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

31 - 8a = 5(-4 - 5a)

First, on the right-hand side of the equation, let's distribute the 5 to each term in the parenthesis:

31 - 8a = -20 - 25a

Now, let's move all the terms with an a to the left-hand side, and everything else to the right-hand side of the equation:

-8a + 25a = -20 - 31

Let's combine like terms:

17a = -51

Finally, let's divide each side by 17 to get a by itself on the left-hand side of the equation:

a = -3
