5k/16+2k/12=(-25+k)/24
find common denomenator so we can cancel them
find GCM of 16,12, and 24

16=2*2*2*2
12=2*2*3
24=2*2*2*3
GCM=2*2*2*2*3=48

multiply everybody by 48

3(5k)+4(2k)=2(-25+k)
distribute
15k+8k=-50+2k
add like terms
23k=-50+2k
subtract 2k
21k=-50
divie both sides by 21
k=-50/21
k=-2 and 4/25

Which names are other ways to name ∠1?

vesna_86 [32]

∠1 is an angle formed by the two lines PF and YF at point F

We can also call this angle as ∠PFY because it indicates the point F in the middle where the angle is formed

We can call this angle as ∠YFP because it also indicates the point F in the middle where the angle is formed

we can also call this angle ∠F since F is the point where the angle is formed.

Correct answer: ∠PFY, ∠YFP, ∠F

ivann1987 [24]

This probability is the same as 1-(two different suited cards). Your first card can be any of the 52 cards. Your second card must be any of the 39 different suited remaining 51 cards. So the answer is 1 - (52/52)(39-51). Note: I assumed there was no replacement.

You bought 50 shares of stock at $55 per share and sold them for $61 per share. The sale involves a broker’s commission of $0.30

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The profit made is;

b) $285)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of shares bought, n = 50

The price each share is bought, CP = $55

The amount at which each share is sold, SP = $61

The amount the broker received per share, E = $0.30

Therefore, the amount of profit, 'P', is given as follows;

P = n × (SP - CP - E)

By substituting the values for the variables, we have;

P = 50 × (61 - 55 - 0.3) = 285

The amount made as profit, P = $285.00.
