Below is the solution:

There are two equations to be solved here.  The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8

At top speed a cheetah can travel 114 km/hour . HOW MANY METERS CAN IT TRAVEL PER SECOND PLEASE HELP ME and don't forget to expl
densk [106]

Hey there! :) So first of all, I got 31.67 per second. The way I got my answer is first, I knew that 1 KM is 1000 Meters. So now, I multiplied 114 x 1000 which equals 114,000 Meters. Then, I figured out that 1 Hour has 3600 Seconds. Then I did 114,000 ÷ 3,600 and got 31.67 Seconds. And that is how I got the answer!

Hope it helps and it's the right answer & it's understandable! :D

Paige invested 1200 at an interest rate of 5.75% compounded quarterly. Determine the value of her investments in 7 years.
iragen [17]
Use the formula A=p(1+r)^n
where 
A= value of investment
r= rate
n= time period
p= amount invested
in this question 
r= 5.75% but compounded quarterly means divide this by 4
r= 23/1600
n=7*4
n=28
p= $1200
A=1200(1+23/1600)^28

A= $1789.54

Therefore the value of her investment in 7 years is $1789.54
