Answer:
Original amount invested = $3400 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original investment of Steve = $x
Stock increased in the first year = 50% of amount invested
Therefore total amount after one year = x + 0.5x = 1.5x
Commission paid to the stock broker = $350
Amount lost by him = $400
Amount withdrawn by him = $300
Total amount decreased from the amount after 1 year
= 1.5x - (350 + 400 + 300)
= 1.5x - 1050
This remaining amount is doubled, so the final amount
= 2(1.5x - 1050)
= 3x - 2100
This final amount is equal to $8100
3x - 2100 = 8100
3x = 8100 + 2100
3x = 10200
x = $3400
Therefore original amount invested in the stock market was $3400 .
The answer would be 144 :)
(2x² + 7x + 10) - (x² + 2x - 9) =
2x² + 7x + 10 - x² - 2x + 9 =
x² + 5x + 19
Answer: 44 miles
WORKINGS
Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown
Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.
The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL
Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles
Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles
The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles
Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
