Solving two-step equations:

Mia made three times as many baskets in yesterday’s basketball game as she did last Saturday. She scored a total of 24 baskets for both games. How many baskets did Mia score last Saturday?

Please show me how to do it and the answer. :)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x

Mia made score of baskets yesterday = 3x (Mia made three times as many baskets in yesterday’s basketball game as she did last Saturday. three times means multiply 3 with score of Last Saturday baskets, i.e. x)

Total score of baskets = 24

We need to find How many baskets did Mia score last Saturday?

We can write:

Total Score = Score on Last Saturday + Score yesterday

[tex]24=x+3x[/tex]

Solving this equation we can find value of x:

[tex]24=x+3x\\24=4x\\=>4x=24\\x=\frac{24}{4}\\x=6[/tex]

So, we get value of x = 6

Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x = 6

Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.

Write an equation to describe this situation.
How many cookies did Jamir bake?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 24+P=56

You then would subtract 24 from the left and move it to the 56 side of the equation.

2)P=56-24

You then take 56-24=32.

3) P=32

Answer:

  x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the given angle expressions is 90°, the measure of the right angle:

  x + (3x +10) = 90

  4x = 80 . . . . . . . . . subtract 10

  x = 20 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Complementary Angles, Equations

1) We are given this diagram and we want to find out x.

The 2 angles (One with the measure "x degrees" and the other with the measure of "3x+10") are complementary. This means that both their measures add up to equal the measure of a right, or 90 degrees.

2) This means we can make the equation --> [tex]x + 3x + 10 = 90[/tex]

To solve:

Combine like terms (3x + x = 4x) --> [tex]4x + 10 = 90[/tex]

To get "x" by itself, subtract 10 from both sides (90 - 10 = 80)

This means it would be --> [tex]4x = 80[/tex]

Divide by 4 from both sides (80 divided by 4 is 20) and get x = 20

Therefore 20 is your answer.

  a) x = 14

  b) NP = 2 2/9; NL = 2 7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The similarity statement tells you that angle P and angle L have the same measure:

  angle L = angle P

  3x +18 = 60

  x + 6 = 20 . . . . . divide by 3

  x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

b) The proportional segments are ...

  PN/NQ = LN/NM

Find the equation of the exponential function represented by the table below:

Answers

Answer:

y = 4 [tex](2)^{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For an exponential function in standard form

y = a [tex](b)^{x}[/tex]

To find the values of a and b, use ordered pairs from the table

Using (0, 4 ), then

4 = a[tex]b^{0}[/tex] ( [tex]b^{0}[/tex] = 1 ), so

a = 4

y = 4[tex]b^{x}[/tex]

Using (1, 8 ), then

8 = 4[tex]b^{1}[/tex] = 4b ( divide both sides by 4 )

2 = b

Thus

y = 4 [tex](2)^{x}[/tex] ← exponential function

The value of function f(x) = 4x + 5 when x = 4 is 21 the answer is 21.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function:

f(x) =  4x + 5

Plug x = 4

f(4) = 4(4) + 5

f(4) = 16 + 5

f(4) = 21

Thus, the value of function f(x) = 4x + 5 when x = 4 is 21 the answer is 21.
