Read the paragraph. [1] The 1992 Olympic Games took place in Barcelona, Spain. [2] This marked the first year that professional basketball players were permitted to represent their countries in the games. [3] Previously, only amateur players were allowed to participate such as college athletes. [4] The US squad was called “The Dream Team” because it consisted of some of the best players in the history of the game, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. Which sentence should be revised to improve this paragraph’s sentence fluency?Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options. x < 5 –6x – 5 < 10 – x –6x + 15 < 10 – 5x A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right. A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at negative 5 and a bold line starts at negative 5 and is pointing to the left.

Answers

Answer 1

The sentence that needs to be revised to improve the paragraph's sentence fluency is: sentence 3.

The two correct representations for the inequality can be -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x OR x < 5

In a grammatical context, the correct usage of punctuation marks and active voice is required and needed to be taken into consideration by the writer for effective communication to the reader.

The correct form of the sentence in sentence 3 should be:

"Previously, only amateur players, like college athletes, were allowed to participate."

The inequality given is -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x). Using the simple algebraic method to solve the given inequality, we have:

= -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x)

= -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

By collecting the like terms, we have:

= 15 - 10 < -5x + 6x

= x < 5

Therefore, the two correct representations for the inequality can be -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x  OR  x < 5

NOTE: The third question is a repetition of an incomplete question.

A diver dove from a board that was 6 3/4 feet above the water's surface, and descended until he was 8 1/3 feet below the water's surface. What was the total distance that the diver desceded?

Answers

Answer:

15 1/12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if he descended 8 1/3 feet below the water, that means he must've went from board to water which is 6 3/4 feet then down 8 1/3 feet

6 3/4 + 8 1/3

= 6 9/12 + 8 4/12

=15 1/12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 0 for x to find the y-intercept. THey would both be raised to the 0th power meaning both y's equal 1. So, they both have the y-intercept of (0,1).

y=6^x is steeper becuase when you graph it, you can see it is. Also of course 6 is higher than 3.

What is the value of q

Answers

Answer:

Triangles QST and RST are similar.  Therefore, the following is true:

q       s

--- = ----   This results in 10q=rs.

r      10

Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.

Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.  

           4      s

Also:  ---- = -----    which leads to s^2 = 40

           s      10

Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2

Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)

Rewrite the linear equation 2x = 13y – 9 in slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y \: = \: \frac{2}{13} x \: + \: \frac{9}{13} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to write it in the form y = mx + c where m is the slope(gradient) and y is the y intercept

1) add 9 to both sides

2x = 13y - 9

2x + 9 = 13y

2)divide 13 on both sides

2x + 9 = 13y

2/13x + 9/13 = y

final equation is

[tex]y \: = \: \frac{2}{13} x \: + \: \frac{9}{13} [/tex]
