what you need to find is just x, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know </3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is asking how many free throws Felix made and x represents the free throws, so we just need to solve x x+2y+3z=520 x+20=y y=3.5z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 520 div 3.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+2y+3z=520---(1) x+20=y---(2) y=3.5z---(3) substitute (3) into (2), x+20=3.5z---(4) Sub (3) into (1), x+2(3.5z)+3Z=520---(5) just solve (4) and (5), and you can find x and z. but x is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, not just divide it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i haven't read the long question, but i just use the equation it given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equations*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify those three equations into simultaneous equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how tho is the question im slow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are three questions on the screen, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i put the 530 and 20 and - tjhem?

|dw:1418030018172:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no need. let's do it step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

firstly, don't re-read the question. just look at these three equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and look at my previous drawing. ask if you don't understand this step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how u get 1 and 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 represents equation one. and so on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+2y+3z=520---(1) this is equation one. x+20=y---(2) this is equation two. y=3.5z---(3) this is equation three.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually, have you ever learnt simultaneous equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh, no wonder why you don't know what i am saying...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simultaneous equations is about two equations with two unknowns, and we can find these two unknowns with some easy steps. let me start again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+2y+3z=520---(1) x+20=y---(2) y=3.5z---(3) although there are three unknowns, we can simplify them into two unknowns. it's given that y=3.5z.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still lost...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't feel messy, it can be very simple. there are three unknowns, right? and equation three is given that y=3.5z is it ok here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. can you see there're "y"s in equation one and two?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
