Answer: Play five on four instead of playing five on five.

Step-by-step explanation: Since it is a basketball game, and there are nine players available, so, we should play it more consciously with better strategies.

If we only allow points for free throws, then it may happen that we will not be able to make the ball to the basket. So, this strategy will not work.

If we play five on four instead of five on five, I think there will be better chances to win because a great combination of players can play a good game. So, this strategy will work for us.

If we put all experienced players together, then the other unexperienced group of players will find it difficult to play the game, and so, this strategy is not good.

Also, if we play the game more slowly, then there will be chances to loose the game.

Hence, we can use the second strategy to play a good basketball game.i.e., we should play five on four instead of five on five.

If y = 3x and 2x – 4y = 3, then x=

lozanna [386]

Answer:

x = -0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can substitute y in 2x – 4y = 3, to solve for x.

How to solve for x:

2x - 4(3x) = 3 (Simplify)

2x - 12x = 3 (Simplify)

-10x = 3 (Divide by -10)

x = -0.3

Elisse has 20 meters of ribbon how many 15 cm of ribbon can be cut from it

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

133 pieces of 15cm can be cut from the ribbon.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Length of ribbon = 20 meters

Length needed to be cut = 15 cm

We will convert meters into centimeters.

1 meter = 100 cm

20 meters = 2000 cm

Number of pieces = $\frac{2000}{15}$

Number of pieces = 133.33

Rounding off to nearest whole number = 133

Hence,

133 pieces of 15cm can be cut from the ribbon.

Passengers of flyaway airlines can purchase tickets for either business class or economy class. On one particular flight there w

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

x = 8

y = 146

Error = 4.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of business class passenger = x

and the economy class passenger = y

Total number of passengers = 154

x + y = 154 ------(1)

Cost of business class tickets and economy class tickets are €320 and €85 respectively.

Total amount received by airlines is €14970.

320x + 85y = 14970

64x + 17y = 2994 --------(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 17 and subtract from equation (2)

(64x + 17y) - (17x + 17y) = 2994 - 2618

47x = 376

x = 8

From equation (1),

8 + y = 154

y = 154 - 8

y = 146

Airline officer wrote down the amount received as €14270

Then difference from the actual amount received = 14970 - 14270

= €700

% Error = $\frac{\text{Difference in amount}}{\text{Actual amount}}\times 100$

= $\frac{700}{14970}\times 100$

= 4.676

≈ 4.68%

Therefore, x = 8 and y = 146

and % error = 4.68%

sam had 70 erasers and rulers. after giving away 1/3 of his erasers and 10 rulers, he had an equal number of erasers and rulers

Radda [10]

Answer:

36 erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of erasers be e

let number of rulers be r

We can write:

e + r = 70

and

After giving away, he has

Erasers: 2/3e

Rulers: r - 10

These two are equal, so we can write and solve:

2/3e = r - 10

2/3e + 10 = r

Putting this in initial equation, we have:

e + (2/3e + 10) = 70

5/3e + 10 = 70

5/3 e = 60

e = 36

And rulers is:

r = 2/3(36) + 10 = 34

Hence, he had 36 erasers in the beginning
