First no. = x
Second no. = y

Equation Formation.
x = 2 y + 5
x - 2 y = 5.........equation (i)

x + y - 1 = 16
x + y = 17............. equation(ii)

Solving Equation
x + y = 17
x - 2 y = 5
     ⇅
3 y = 12
   y = 4

x = 2 y +5 
x = 2(4) + 5
 x = 13

Answer = 4 , 13

Calculate the future value of $51,123.21, earning interest at a rate of that is compounded daily for 20 years and 2 months (use
mina [271]

The compound interest formula is : A = P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^n ^t

where, A= Future value including the interest,

P= Principle amount, r= rate of interest in decimal form,

t= number of years and n= number of compounding in a year

Here, in this problem P= $ 51,123.21 , t= 20 years and 2 months

So, t= 20 + (2/12) years

t= 20 + 0.17 = 20.17 years

As the amount is compounded daily, so n= (12×30)= 360 [Using the traditional Banker’s rule of 30 days per month]

Thus, A = 51,123.21( 1+ \frac{r}{360})^3^6^0^*^2^0^.^1^7

A= 51,123.21 (1+\frac{r}{360})^7^2^6^1^.^2

When the interest rate is given, then we can use this equation for finding the future value.

Answer:

To do this I am pretty sure your going to have to do some hard calculations.

so because it is a rectangle every angle is a right angle according to the property of a rectangle.

A right angle is 90 degress

So 8x+18=90
90-18=72

8x=72

72/8=9

x=9
