To solve, we must get x by itself. the first step we must take is to remove all of the parentheses. To do this, we must use distribution to multiply 5 by x - 6.

5(x - 6) = 3x - 18 + 2x

5x - 30 = 3x - 18 + 2x

Next, we must add like terms.

5x - 30 = 5x - 18

Finally, we must get x by itself. to do this, we must subtract 5x from both sides.

5x - 30 - 5x = 5x - 18 - 5x

Then, we add like terms again.

-30 = -18

Because this is a false statement, the equation is a contradiction.

Cedric purchased a new refrigerator and stove at Home Depot for $3,729 on a deferred payment plan with no down
lesya [120]

Answer:

correct option is d. $242.81

Step-by-step explanation:

given data  

APR = 25.5% = \frac{25.5}{12}     = 2.125  

paid = $3,729

solution

we get here finance charge on the 1st month by multiplying 3,729 and now adding it to existing balance

so we get finance charge for the second and third months similarly as

APR ÷ 100 = \frac{2.125 }{100}  = 0.02125

so 1st  

= $3,729 × 0.02125  

= 79.25  

and  

$3,729  + $79.25 = $3808.24  

so for next  

= $3808.24 × 0.02125  

= 80.93

and  

$3808.24  + $80.93 = $3889.17  

so for next  

= $3889.17  × 0.02125  

= 82.64  

and  

$3889.17 + $ 82.64  = $3971.81

so  

finance charge =  3971.81 - 3729  

finance charge = 242.81  

so correct option is d. $242.81

How to find unknown side
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

C = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

You have a and b already, a = 6, b = 8

6^{2} +8^{2} =c^{2} \\\\

solve this to get

64 + 36 = \sqrt{100}

C = 10

Apply the same to the other 2 triangles. C is your longest side!

Not all 30-story buildings are the same height. Depends on how tall the ceiling is on each floor. But usually it is around 300 feet
