Kari and Julie are practicing for basketball tryouts. Kari makes 3 less than twice as many baskets as Julie. Part A
Write an expression with two terms for the number of baskets that Kari makes. Explain how you found your expression.

Part B
Write an expression with three terms for the number of baskets that Kari and Julie make in all. Explain how you found your expression.

Part C
If Julie makes 18 baskets, how many baskets does Kari make? How many baskets do they make in all? Show your work.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8  

12.4, 12.387, 12.26, 12.252, 6.241, 6.2, 6.015, 6.009, 1.411, 1.2, 1.056, 1.007, 0.31,   0.13, 0.5, 0.04
