The New York Nicks had a streaky season. They began by winning 4 games in a row, and then they lost 12 games in a row. After those 12 losses, they won every game, finishing with 3 wins for every 2 losses overall. How many games did they win after the first 16 games?

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that they won 14 games after the first 16 games.

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.For each 3 games they won, they lost 2.They lost 12 games, all on the losing streak, and won x games.

Hence, the rule of three is:

2 losses - 3 wins

12 losses - x wins

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]2x = 3(12)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{36}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 18[/tex]

18 wins, being 18 - 4 = 14 after the first 16 games, hence, they won 14 games after the first 16 games.

Lee is creating a garden with the dimensions shown.

Lines are drawn inside a large triangle at each point to create smaller triangles. Line A B is drawn to create a triangle that has 2 sides with a length of 8 feet. The angle opposite to A B is 36 degrees. Line Z Y is drawn to create a triangle that has 2 sides with a length of 8 feet. The angle opposite to Z Y is 65 degrees. Line X Y is drawn to create a triangle that has 2 sides with a length of 8 feet. The angle opposite to X Y is 79 degrees.

He creates paths through the garden along Line segment A B, Line segment X Y, and Line segment Z Y. Which correctly compares the lengths of the paths?

The path along Line segment X Y is longer than the path along Line segment Z Y, and the path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment A B.
The path along Line segment A B is longer than the path along Line segment Z Y, and the path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment X Y.
The path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment X Y, and the path along Line segment X Y is longer than the path along Line segment A B.
The path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment A B, and the path along Line segment A B is longer than the path along Line segment X Y.

The ratio of students in Class X to Class Y is 2 : 5. There are 24 more students in Class Y than Class X. How many students must transfer from Class Y to Class X so that both classes have equal number of students?

Answers

Answer:

The answer will be 12 students. 12 students must transfer from Class Y to Class X so that both classes have equal number of students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 2 : 5, we would multiply both number to 8 and get 16 : 40.

Now find the average of those two numbers: (16 + 40) / 2 which gets you 28. Now either subtract 16 from 28 or subtract 28 from 40 and you will get 12.

28 - 16 = 12 students

40 - 28 = 12 students.

If the output number y is -52 (y=5x-2) what is the input number? SHOW WORK

Answers

Answer:

the input number is -10

Step-by-step explanation:

output is always y

input is always x

so instead of y, put -52

-52=5x-2  add 2 to each side to ger 5x by itself

-50=5x     divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself

-10=x

x is the input so the input is -10

Question 2: Select the property shown
by the statement: If 7 = x and x = y, then
7 = Y
A. Commutative
B. Associative
C. Reflexive
D. Symmetric
E. Transitive

Answers

Answer:

1. option C, i.e., symmetric property.

2. option B, i.e., Integer

3. option D, i.e., zero product property

Step-by-step explanation:

Symmetric property: According to this property it a=b the b=a.

By symmetric property, we can say that, if y=7 then 7=y.

Therefore, the correct option is C, i.e., symmetric property.

Closure property: According to this property, if a∈S and b∈S, then a*b∈S.

Subtraction of natural numbers is not always natural.

Subtraction of integers is always integer.

Subtraction of irrational number is not always irrational number.

Subtraction of odd number is always even.

Therefore, the correct option is B, i.e., Integer.

Given statement is (a-b)*0=0.

According to zero product property if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0.

So, the given statement is true by zero product property.

Therefore, the correct option is D, i.e., zero product property.

. Write the equation of a line passing through the points (3,-1) and (6,7).
(Hint - Use the Calculator)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the most usual firm of line equation is

y = ax + b

a is the slope of the line and is expressed as the ratio

y coordinate change / x coordinate change

when going from one point to the other.

b is the y-interception (the bake of y when x = 0).

once we have the slope, we get b by using the coordinates of one of the given points as x and y in the equation and solve for b.

the slope a :

x changes by +3 (from 3 to 6)

y changes by +8 (from -1 to 7)

so, the slope is +8/+3 = 8/3

our line equation now looks like

y = (8/3)x + b

let's simply use the first point

-1 = (8/3)×3 + b

-1 = 24/3 + b = 8 + b

-9 = b

and the full line equation is

y = (8/3)x - 9
