Ricky scored 20 points in his first game and 18 points in his second game. He played three games during the week and averaged 21 points per game. How many points did he score in his third game?

Answer:

a= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(7a-4)= 38

7×6= 42

42-4= 38

Answer:

a = - 2, [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] , b = 2, - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 1, y = 2 is a solution to the equations , then substitute these values into the 2 equations and solve for a and b

a + 2b = 2 → (1)

b + 2a² = 10 → (2)

In (1) subtract 2b from both sides

a = 2 - 2b → (3)

Substitute a = 2 - 2b into (2)

b + 2(2 - 2b)² = 10 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

b + 2(4 - 8b + 4b²) = 10 ( simplify left side )

b + 8 - 16b + 8b² = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

8b² - 15b - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term

product = 8 × - 2 = - 16 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 16 and + 1

Use these factors to split the b- term

8b² - 16b + b - 2 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

8b(b - 2) + 1(b - 2) = 0 ← factor out (b - 2) from each term

(b - 2)(8b + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b - 2 = 0 ⇒ b = 2

8b + 1 = 0 ⇒ 8b = - 1 ⇒ b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Substitute these values into (3) and evaluate for a

b = 2 ⇒ a = 2 - 2(2) = 2 - 4 = - 2

b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ⇒ a = 2 - 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

The possible values of a and b are 8, -3 or 9/4 , -1/8 respectively.

An equation is a combination of different variables, in which two mathematical expressions are equal to each other.

The given equations are,

ax + by = 2            (1)

and bx + a²y = 10        (2)

Also, x = 1 and y = 2 are the solution of the equation,

Substitute x = 1 and y = 2in equation (1),

a(1) + b(2) = 2

a + 2b = 2       (3)

Further substitute x = 1 and y = 2 in equation (2),

b(1) + a²(2)  = 10  

2a² + b = 10         (4)

By solving equation (3) and (4),

The possible values of a are 8 and 9/4.

And possible value of b are -3 and -1/8.

cuz nearest whole number, just check the next number that is nearest, that in this case is the decimal 1, hence, if it's 5 or above add a one to the whole number, if not then just write it as it is. in this case the nearest number is less than five so we just write it as 1.0000 or just 1

Step-by-step explanation:

18.75 x 11.54

= 216.375

216.375 is the correct answer

The correct option is B. Distributive property

Given,

[tex]\frac{2}{3} x+7=-5\\[/tex]

On solving the above equation,

multiplying both sides by 3 we, get

[tex]2x+21=-15[/tex]

now subtracting 21 from both the sides,

[tex]2x=-36\\[/tex]

dividing both the sides by 2 we get,

Answer:

the range is 66 to 70 since it can be 2 degrees in either direction

The range of possible temperatures is 66 to 70°F.

It is required to find the range of possible temperatures.

The degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.

Given:

The thermostat for a house is set to 68 °F, but the actual temperature may vary by as much as 2 °F.

According to given question we have,

∴The range is 66 to 70 °F since it can be 2 degrees in either direction.

Therefore, the range of possible temperatures is 66 to 70°F.

c = 28.26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

equation for circumference of a circle is 2πr

r = d/2 so here r = 9/2 = 4.5

2 x 3.14 x 4.5 = 28.26

Answer:

C ≈ 28.26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference (C) is calculated as

C = πd ( d is the diameter ) , then

C = π × 9 ≈ 3.14 × 9 = 28.26 cm ( to the nearest hundredth )

The range for the measure of the third side of the triangle is (5, 38).

A triangle is a geometric figure with three edges, three angles and three vertices. It is a basic figure in geometry.

The sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°

Given that,

Two sides of the triangle are 18 ft and 23 ft.

Let the third side of the triangle is x cm.

Since, the third side is greater than the difference of the remaining sides and less than the sum of the two sides.

Implies that,

23 - 18 < x < 23 + 18

5 < x < 38

The range of the third side varies from (5, 38).

m= 4.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles Evelyn can run be m and can be modeled by the equation below

m= kx

Where x Is the Minutes

When m= 3

x= 40

3= k40

The seat in the middle of the one-way route is 34
