a = amount invested at 5%

b = amount invested at 2%

now, we know the total invested by Mr Wilson was 20000, so whatever "a" and "b" might be, we know that a + b = 20000.

a + b = 20000\implies b = 20000-a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{5\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.05a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{2\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{2}{100} \right)a}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 0.02b\\\\ \stackrel{substituting}{0.02(20000-a)} \end{array}

now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then

0.05a~~ + ~~0.02(20000-a)~~ = ~~550\implies 0.05a+400-0.02a=550 \\\\\\ 0.03a+400=550\implies 0.03a=150\implies a=\cfrac{150}{0.03}\implies a=5000 \\\\\\ ~\hspace{24em}\stackrel{20000~~ - ~~5000}{b=15000}

The length of a rectangle is 6 yards longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 yd, find its area in square
ddd [48]
Let, width = x
Length = x + 6

Now, perimeter, 2(l+b) = 2(x+6+x)
2(2x+6) = 32
4x + 12 = 32
4x = 20
x = 5 &
x+6 = 5+6 = 11

As rectangle's dimensions are 11*5, it's area would be: 11 * 5 = 55 yards²

So, your final answer is 55 Yd²

Hope this helps!

Someone please help me I have to show how they're similar
Sidana [21]
Angle AXD = angle CXB (vertically opposite angle)
then angle ADB = angle ABC 
then angle DAB = angle BCD 
I couldn't remember the name of the rule 
I said that they are equal if you look at the curve AC and DB
They called them that two angles that subtended by the same mirror (arc)
lead them to be a similar angle (angle - angle - angle)

(4x + 3)(4x - 3)<br> Help pls
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

16x^2-9

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(4x+3\right)\left(4x-3\right)

We´ll <u>Apply Difference Two Squares Formula:</u>

  • \left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right)=a^2-b^2

\longmapsto \left(4x+3\right)\left(4x-3\right)

\longmapsto \left(4x\right)^2-3^2

<u>Apply exponent rule</u>:

  • \left(a\times \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n

\longmapsto 4^2x^2-3^2

\longmapsto 16x^2-9
