A basketball player made 12 out of 15 free throws she attempted.She wants to know how many consecutive free throws she would have to make to raise the percent of successful free throws to 85%. Write an equation to represent this situation.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

Anna is counting the number of seeds in her fruit. Her watermelon has one less than three times the number of seeds as her apple. Her orange has 13 less than 5 times the number of seeds as her apple. Her watermelon has more seeds than her orange. Which inequality represents the number of seeds her apple could have?

Answers

Inequalities are used to represent unequal expressions

The inequality that represents the number  of  seeds her apple could  have is [tex]\mathbf{A < 6}[/tex]

Represent the fruits with the first letter.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{W =3A - 1}[/tex] --- watermelon is one less than three times apple

[tex]\mathbf{O =5A - 13}[/tex] --- orange is thirteen less than five times apple

[tex]\mathbf{W > O}[/tex] --- the seeds in watermelon exceeds orange

Substitute expressions for W and O in [tex]\mathbf{W > O}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{3A - 1 > 5A - 13}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{13- 1 > 5A - 3A}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{12 > 2A}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\mathbf{6 > A}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{A < 6}[/tex]

The inequality that represents the number  of  seeds her apple could  have is [tex]\mathbf{A < 6}[/tex]

How do you solve this

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, we should realize that the angle with 16x + 7 and the angle with 5x + 5 are same-side interior angles, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. This means that 16x + 7 + 5x + 5 = 180.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex](16x+5x)+(7+5)=180[/tex] [tex]21x + 12 = 180[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

[tex]21x + 12 - 12 = 180 - 12[/tex] [tex]21x = 168[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 21.

[tex]\frac{21x}{21}=\frac{168}{21}[/tex] [tex]x = 8[/tex]

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

[tex]16(8)+7+5(8)+5=180[/tex] [tex]128 + 7 + 40 + 5 = 180[/tex] [tex]135 + 40 + 5 = 180[/tex] [tex]175 + 5 = 180[/tex] [tex]80= 80[/tex]

Therefore, x = 8.

1) a supermarket sells articles during the festival seasons with a 10% discount. find the new price of the following articles.

i) A CFL bulb if the marked price is Rs. 280

ii) A bunion if the marked price is Rs. 650.

iii) A gas cooker if the marked price is Rs. 7500

Answers

Answer:

252, 585, 6750

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to think that the regular price represents 100% and we need 10 of 10% to make an 100%. So if we divide the regular price by 10 will get our 10%.

i) A CFL bulb if the marked price is Rs. 280

10 % of 280 is 280/10 = 28

discounted price is 280 -28 = 252

ii) A bunion if the marked price is Rs. 650.

10 % of 650 is 650/10 = 65

discounted price is 650 -65 = 585

iii) A gas cooker if the marked price is Rs. 7500

10 % of 7500 is 7500/10 = 750

discounted price is 7500 -750 = 6750

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 4) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x + y = 3 in standard form?

Answers

So a line that is perpendicular is a line that intercepts other line at a 90 degree angle.

Slope of perpendicular lines is the opposite sign and the reciprocal of the other.

So if your slope was 2 the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/2.

So the equation, 2x + y = 3

Can be rewritten as

y= -2x+3

Perpendicular slope: 1/2

Since it intercepts/ passes the coordinates (5,4) it means that those values are included in the function input x and output y.

y=mx+b

4=1/2(5)+b

Solve for b (y intercept)

4-2.5=b

1.5=b

So the equation of the perpendicular is

y=1/2x+3/2 or y=.5x+1.5

Graph the inequality. x < 2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

there u have it, since y is 0, we make a straight line that passes through 2 and shade the numbers that are <2
