James scored a total of 16 points during a basketball game. During the game, he made only free throws, worth 1 point each, and 3-point baskets. He made a total of 10 free-throws and 3-point baskets. Determine exactly how many free throws and how man 3-point basket James made during the game.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7 , y = 3 , or 7 free throws, and 3 3-pointers.

Step-by-step explanation:

James scored a total of 16 points during a basketball. Only free throws and 3-point baskets are used. Free throws = 1 point (x), 3-pointers = 3 points (y).

Set the equations:

16 = x + 3y

10 = x + y

First, isolate the variable x in the second equation. Divide y from both sides of the equation:

10 (-y) = x + y (-y)

x = 10 - y

Next, plug in 10 - y for x in the first equation:

16 = x + 3y

16 = (10 - y) + 3y

Simplify. Combine like terms:

16 = 10 - y + 3y

16 = 10 + (-y + 3y)

16 = 10 + 2y

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

16 (-10) = 10 (-10) + 2y

2y = 16 - 10

2y = 6

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2y)/2 = (6)/2

y = 6/2 = 3

Plug in 3 for y in one of the equations:

16 = x + 3y

16 = x + 3(3)

16 = x + 9

Isolate the variable, subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

16 (-9) = x + 9 (-9)

x = 16 - 9

x = 7

x = 7 , y = 3 , or 7 free throws, and 3 3-pointers.

Plug in to check:

16 = x + 3y

10 = x + y

16 = (7) + 3(3)

16 = 7 + 9

16 = 16 (True)

10 = (7) + (3)

10 = 10 (True).

~

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7 , y = 3  or 7 free throws, and 3 3-pointers.

Please help.

Answers

Answer:

A technique for distributing two binomials. The letters FOIL stand for First, Outer, Inner, Last. First means multiply the terms which occur first in each binomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order when multiplying two binomials will be First, outer, inner, and last. Then the correct option is B.

What is binomial?

The binomial is a polynomial of two-term only. For example, x + 5 where x and 5 are two separate terms.

It is also known as the product. If the object n is given to m times then we just simply multiply them.

Let the two expressions are (a + b) and (c + d). Then the multiplication of the expressions will be given as,

⇒ (a + b) x (c + d)

⇒ a(c + d) + b(c + d)

⇒ ac + ad + bc + bd

The correct order when multiplying two binomials will be First, outer, inner, and last. Then the correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well theres not exactly a formula, I jsut solve the 3 faces and then double it all since 2 are the same for each except for 1 so the first side is the 10X12 one. that would give you 60 and then you double that and get 120 since 2 same faces.

The next one the 6X13  one is just a sideways rectangle, a=lw and that would be 78. Two faces same side double 78 and get 156.

Now the final side is the bottom which is jsut 10X6. a=lw and that would eqaul 60. No need to double since thats the only side that doesn’t have a duplicate. Add all your result up and you would get

On Monday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 592 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Monday?

Answers

Answer:

148

Step-by-step explanation:

148 x 3 = 444

444 + 148 = 592

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hope It Helps ♥

148 hamburgers were sold on Monday.

Let x be the number of hamburgers sold.

Since the number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold, the number of cheeseburgers sold can be represented as 3x.

The total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold was 592. So, we can set up the equation:

x + 3x = 592

Combine like terms:

4x = 592

Now, solve for x by dividing both sides by 4:

x = 592 / 4

x = 148

Therefore, 148 hamburgers were sold on Monday.

In a robotics competition, a robot must be built with a specific

height requirements, a robot must fit in the judge's plexi-glass box.
The box is a rectangular prism that has a surface area of 1 728 in”, a
width of 15 inches, and a length of 18 inches. The Mad Hatter robot
is 17.75 inches tall in its starting position. Does the Mad Hatter
meet the height requirement?

Answers

L = 18, W = 15 and H = ?
2*(15+18) + 2*(15H) + 2*(18H) = 540 + 30H + 36H
1,728 - 540 = 66H
1,188/66 = H = 18
so yes, it meets the height requirement 17.75 is less than 18

Cheryl painted her living room walls with two different colors. She painted part of the room yellow and another part green. If the surface area of the walls in her room is 720 ft2 and she painted 288 ft2 yellow, what percent of the room did she paint green?

Answers

Answer:

Total percent of the room did she paint green = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Cheryl painted her living room walls with two different colors. She painted part of the room yellow and another part green. If the surface area of the walls in her room is 720 ft² and she painted 288 ft² yellow.

To find - What percent of the room did she paint green ?

Proof -

Given that,

The surface area of the walls in her room = 720 ft²

Total area painted in yellow color = 288 ft²

So,

Total area painted in green color would be = 720 - 288 = 432 ft²

Now,

Let the total percent green color painted = x

So,

720 × x% = 432

⇒[tex]720*\frac{x}{100} = 432[/tex]

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{432*100}{720}[/tex] = 60

∴ we get

Total percent of the room did she paint green = 60%
