17 one point shots and 39 two point shots were made

Solution:

Given that,

At a basketball​ game, a team made 56 successful shots

They were a combination of​ 1- and​ 2-point shots

Let "x" be the number of 1 point shots

Then, 56 - x is the number of two point shots

The team scored 95 points in all

Therefore,

1(number of 1 point shots) + 2(number of two point shots) = 95

x + 2(56 - x) = 95

x + 112 - 2x = 95

x = 112 - 95

x = 17

Then, number of two point shots = 56 - x = 56 - 17 = 39

Thus 17 one point shots and 39 two point shots were made

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the value of x first.

From the first sentence:

4x +13= 8

Subtract 13 from both sides:

4x= 8 -13

4x= -5

[tex]x = - \frac{5}{4} [/tex]

[tex]x = - 1 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

2 times x is added to 7 → 2x +7

2x +7

[tex]= 2( - \frac{5}{4} ) + 7 [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x2+5x−10=x2+4

Step 1: Subtract x^2+4 from both sides.

2x2+5x−10−(x2+4)=x2+4−(x2+4)

x2+5x−14=0

For this equation: a=1, b=5, c=-14

x=2 or x=−7

Answer:

x=2 or x=−7

Answer:

x = 2 or x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use factorisation to solve this.

First, we shift all the variables to one side (see attachement)

Then, we need to find the value of x, which multiples to give -14 and adds together to give 5.

7 - 2 = 5

and 7 x (-2) = -14.

Now we factorize (group into brackets) to find the values of x.

We solve for x to find the final answer.

The drama club was selling tickets to the school play. Adult tickets cost $8.00 each, and student tickets cost $5.00 each. The little theater holds 142 people and was sold out for both Friday and Saturday. The total sales for the two days were $1,940. How many people got tickets for both Friday and Saturday combined

Answers

Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets were sold.

We are to find the surface area of a cube

The surface area of a cube is = 6a²

Where a = side length

From the above question,

a = 9 inches

Hence,

Surface area = 6 × 9²

= 486 square inches

We are asked to include the surface area of the bow which is given as: 115 square inches

Total Surface Area of the cube(With the bow included) = (486 + 115)square inches

A value of a car is $24,000. You pay it off by making payments of $6200 a year. Write and equation for when the car would be payed off

Answers

Answer: 24,000 / 6,200 = x years

Step-by-step explanation:

The car is valued at $24,000.

Yearly payments are $6,200.

The year that it will be paid off can be dtermined by calculating how long it would take $6,200 to get to $24,000.

You can do that by dividing $24,000 by $6,200.

Assume the number of years for the car to be paid off is x:

24,000 / 6,200 = x years

When solved:

= 24,000 / 6,200

= 3.87 years

Mrs. Piazza's class is voting on where to take a field trip. 1/4 of the students want to go to the zoo and 1/8 of the students want to go to the aquarium. The rest of the students want to go to a baseball game. What fraction of the class wants to go to a baseball game?​

Answers

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of students that went to the baseball game can be known by adding the fraction of students that went to the zoo and the aquarium and subtracting it from 1

Sum of the fraction of students that went to the zoo and the aquarium

= [tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

  [tex]\frac{2 + 1 }{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Fraction of students that went to the baseball game = 1 - [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

A motorcyclist leaves City A and rides at a constant speed towards City B, which is 225 km away. After 1.5 hours, the motorcyclist stops a half an hour lunch. To reach City B on time, the motorcyclist increases his speed after lunch by 10km/hour. Find the motorcyclists original speed

Answers

Answer:

50 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, this is how I solved this problem.

Let r = original rate of speed

     t = time after the stop to finish the trip

Time for trip without stopping is 225/r

(1)     1.5 + .5 + t = 225/r      This is a time equation

(2)    1.5r + t(r + 10) = 225     This is a distance equation

(1)       2 + t = 225/r            (2)      1.5r + tr + 10t = 225

         2r + tr = 225

                tr = 225 - 2r                 1.5r + 225 - 2r + 10(225/r - 2) = 225

                t = 225/r - 2

                                                   -.5r + 225 + 2250/r - 20 = 225

                                                     -5r + 2250 + 22500/r - 200 = 2250

                                                     -5r^2 + 2250r + 22500 - 200r = 2250r

                                                       5r^2 + 200r - 22500 = 0

                                                       5(r^ + 40r - 4500) = 0

                                                           5(r - 50)(r + 90) = 0

                                                                 r = 50   or    r = -90

The rate cannot be negative, so the original speed 50 km/hr
