Total points is 23

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

$y = \frac{x}{2} + 3$ -1

The equation can be formed as:

$\frac{x}{2} + 3 + x = 18$

On solving this equation further we get:

$\frac{x+6+2x}{2} = 18\\\\9x = 36\\\\x = 4$

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

$y = \frac{x}{2}+3\\ \\y = \frac{4}{2} + 3\\\\y = 5$

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

= 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

= 15

Total points = 8 + 15

= 23

Therefore, total points is 23

in the year 2010, the luxury bike industry had two bike manufactures splendor and passion with the market shares of 30% and 70%,

kari74 [83]

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010, there were only 2 bike manufacturers and they had market shares of 30% and 70%.

A new manufacturer joins the market and captures 10% of the market share and Splendor increases to 40% of market share.

Market shares:

Yamaha = 10%

Splendor = 40%

Passion = 100% - 10% - 40%

= 50%

3 Ximena draws an X shape in the coordinate plane as shown. Draw the images of

VARVARA [1.3K]

When a shape is rotated, it must be rotated around a point.

<em>See attachment for the image of each rotation.</em>

To do this, the top coordinates of the X shape will be transformed using the appropriate rotation rule; the same rule will then be applied to the other parts of the X shape.

The top coordinates of the X shape are:

$A = (0,0)$

$B = (1,0)$

$C = (3,0)$

$D =(4,0)$

For 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation, the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (-y,x)$

So, we have:

$A' = (0,0)$

$B' = (0,1)$

$C' = (0,3)$

$D' = (0,4)$

For 180 degrees rotation, the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (-x,-y)$

So, we have:

$A' = (0,0)$

$B' = (-1,0)$

$C' = (-3,0)$

$D' = (-4,0)$

For 270 degrees counter rotation, the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (y,-x)$

So, we have:

$A' = (0,0)$

$B' = (0,-1)$

$C' = (0,-3)$

$D' = (0,-4)$

See attachment for the image of each rotation

Now let's assume that you have a newer toilet that uses 6 L per flush, but you are considering upgrading to a dual-flush toilet.

nydimaria [60]

Answer: 3,285 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

In the actual case, all your flushes consume 6 L of water.

You flush 4 times per day, then you consume 4 times 6 L per day, this is:

4*6L = 24 L per day.

And in one year there are 365 days, then in one year you consume:

365*24 L = 8,760 L

Now, if you upgrade the toilet, now per day you use:

one time 6 L and 3 times 3 L

Then in day, you use:

1*6 L + 3*3 L = 6L + 9L = 15L

And in the complete year, you will use 365 times that, which is:

365*15 L = 5,475 L

The amount of water that you would save is equal to the difference between the amount that you use in one year with no upgrade (8,760 L) and the amount that you would use in a year if you upgraded your toilet ( 5,475 L)

The difference is:

D = 8,760 L - 5,475 L = 3,285 L

This means that, in this situation, you would save 3,285 liters of water per year if you upgrade your toilet.

(03.06 MC)Solve the equation for the letter r: d = rt

Neporo4naja [7]

The equation for r: d = rt would be 'r equals d over t.'

How, you might ask? Well, let's consider this example:

You might already know what d = rt stands for... "Distance equals rate times time", so if you divide the two sides by 't', you would come up with r = d/t. So that would finalize as your answer for this question.
