Answer:

$225.54 (hope it help)

Step-by-step explanation:

for 2nd week

$150 for the first week and a raise of 6% each week

which means 150+6%

6% of 150 is 9 (150x0.06)

150+9=159

and it repeats

for 3rd week

6% of 159 is 9.54 (159x0.06)

159+9.54=168.54

for 4th week

6% of 168.54 is 10.1124 (168.54x0.06)

168.54+10.1124=178.652

for 5th week

6% of 178.652 is 10.71912 (178.652x0.06)

178.652+10.71912=189.37112

an easier to do it is to just do 178.652 + 6% on your calculater

and I'll skip all the way to the 8th since you know the formula

212.777390432+6%=225.544033858

225.544033858≈225.54

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

<em>Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides  </em>

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish <u>the two triangles are similar</u>, that is, that t<u>hey have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.  </u>

<u />

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, <u>at the same moment</u>, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where H is the height of the flagpole, h=6 ft is the height of the person, A=5 ft is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft is the length of the shadow of the person.

Having this clear, we can write the following relation with both similar triangles:

\frac{H}{h}=\frac{A}{a}   (1)

We know all these lengths except H, which is the value we want to to find.  

So, in order to approach this problem we have to find H from equation (1):  

H=\frac{A}{a}h  

H=\frac{5 ft}{1.5 ft}(6 ft)  

Then:

H=20 ft >>>>>This is the height of the flagpole

Eight less than a number is six more than twice the same number.<br> I need the number.
mariarad [96]
The answer is -14


Explanation:

x - 8 = 2x + 6

We move all term to the left

x - 8 - ( 2x + 6 ) = 0

We get rid of parentheses

x - 2x - 6 - 8 = 0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x - 14 = 0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other term to the right

-x = 14
x = 14/-1
x = -14
