The numbers would be x and (2x-6).
We would have to solve the following equation.
x+(2x-6)=21
3x-6=21
3x=27
x=27/3=9 Then, the other number would be 2x-6=2*9-6=18-6=12

Answer: the numbers would be 9 and 12,

Answer:

x = ± 2i $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

note that $\sqrt{-1}$ = i

x² = - 12 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{-12}$ = ± $\sqrt{4(3)(-1)}$ = ± 2i $\sqrt{3}$

How many days would it take a construction loan of $548,048 to earn$50,000 exact interest at 9% interest rate?

san4es73 [151]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\to &50000\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$548048\\
r=rate\to 9\%\to \frac{9}{100}\to &0.09\\
t=years
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
50000=548048\cdot 0.09t\implies \cfrac{50000}{0.09(548048)}=t\implies 1.014\approx t$

Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed. If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)
