Answer: Paul will be 30 years old

Step-by-step explanation:Let the age of her sister be x, then from the given data

=> 4x = 20

=> x = 5 years

The age of her sister is 5 years

In the second case, paul is twice as old as his sister

=> Age of paul = 2(x)

=> Age of paul = 10 years

Paul will be 10 years old when he is twice as old as his sister

Answer:

Paul will be 30 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul's sister's age is 1/4 of 20. 20 * 1/4 = 5 years.

Age difference between the siblings : 20 - 5 = 15 years.

That means that Paul will still be 15 years older when he'll be twice the age of his sister.

15 * 2 = 30 years.

Could anyone help me out, it’s would mean a lot.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, they create 4 90° angles. Meaning, in this case, that m<DBC = 90 and m<DBA = 90.

We're given that m<DBE = 2x - 1 and that m<CBE = 5x - 42.

The sum of angles DBE and CBE = m<DBC = 90°

We can add the two angles and set it equal to 90 to find x

2x - 1 + 5x - 42 = 90\\7x - 43 = 90\\7x = 133\\x = \frac{133}{7} =19

You invest $2,000 in an account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of 5%. You never withdraw money from the account
Yuki888 [10]
Formula for amount for compound interest:

Amount, A =  P(1 + r/100)^n

Where r is rate, P is principal, and n is the number of years.

P = 2000, r = 5, n = t years.

A = 2000( 1 + 5/100)^t

A = 200(1+0.05)^t

A = 2000(1.05)^t

A(t) = 2000(1.05)^t

None in the option look like the answer we have.

Except you didn't type the last option correctly.
