Answer:

20 disparos

Step-by-step explanation:

Primera etapa es de determinar cuantos tiros de Camilo acertaron al blanco.

Sabemos que en su última práctica, obtuvo 99 puntos con una mezcla de 5, 8 y 10 puntos.  Eso puedo se exprimir así:

5x + 8y + 10x = 99

Sabemos también que el obtuvo tantos tiros de 8 puntos que de 10 puntos, entonces

y = z

Podemos mezclar las 2 ecuaciones y substituir y por z:

5x + 8y + 10y = 99

5x +18y = 99

Una ecuación, dos variables... no es fácil... pero son números pequeños y se puede intentar soluciones.  Entonces, cuantas veces podemos multiplicar 5 y 18 para obtener 99?

El más simple es de hacer la tabla de multiplicación de 18 y ver cual número nos deja con un multiple de 5.

18 x 1 = 18 (99 - 18 = 81, no un multiple e 5)

18 x 2 = 36 (99 - 36 = 63, no un multiple de 5)

18 x 3 = 54 (99 - 54 = 45, SI, un multiple de 5)

18 x 4 = 72 (99 - 72 = 27, no un multiple de 5)

18 x 5 = 90 (99 - 90 = 9, no un multiple de 5)

Entonces, sabemos que y = 3 y z = 3

5x + 18 (3) = 99

5x + 54 = 99

5x = 45

x = 9

El tiró 9 veces por 5 puntos, 3 veces por 8 puntos y 3 veces pour 10 puntos.

En total tiró 15 veces.

Si acertó 75% (3/4) de las veces, cuantos tiros total?

\frac{15}{3/4} = \frac{15 * 4}{3} = 20

Camilo tiró 20 veces en total.

At most, Alana can spend $40 on carnival tickets. Ride tickets cost $4 each, and food tickets cost $2 each. Alana buys at least
evablogger [386]
We can let r be the number of food tickets and f be the number of food tickets. Since Alana can spend at most $40, that means the total of price bought for r and f must be less than or equal to $40. In addition, since Alana buys at least 16 tickets, this also means that the total of r and f is 16. Mathematically, we have these inequalities: (1) 4r + 2f ≤ 40 and (2) r + f ≥ 16 Multiplying -2 in (2), we have 4r + 2f ≤ 40 -2r - 2f ≤ 32 Adding both inequalities, 2r ≤ 8 r ≤ 4 Since r must be less than or equal to 4.Thus the answer is <span>A.</span>

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1  and x^2+(-8)x=9

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation x^2-8x-9

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is ax^2+bx+c=0

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant D=b^{2}-4ac

D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Now, substituting the values we will get

x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1

And rewritting the given equation by  shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

x^2+bx=c

Andreyy89

Answer:

The number of different combinations of three students that are possible is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that three out of seven students in the cafeteria line are chosen to answer a survey question.

The number of different combinations of three students that are possible is given as:

7C3 (read as 7 Combination 3)

xCy (x Combination y) is defines as

x!/(x-y)!y!

Where x! is read as x - factorial or factorial-x, and is defined as

x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)...2×1.

Now,

7C3 = 7!/(7 - 3)!3!

= 7!/4!3!

= (7×6×5×4×3×2×1)/(4×3×2×1)(3×2×1)

= (7×6×5)/(3×2×1)

= 7×5

= 35

Therefore, the number of different combinations of three students that are possible is 35.
