No, actually the method is not correct. Adiya needed to take x2 and subtract it from 20x. she would then get 6 = 18x. Have in mind also that she needed to divide 18. So 6 = 18x turns into 6=X. That is why is incorrect

Answer:

Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.

How long would it take Belinda's $800 investment to double in value if she has a bond with a 8.75% interest rate?
enyata [817]

Answer:

it takes approximately 11 years and 3 months (11.4 years) for Belinda's investments to double.    

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it takes for Belinda's money to double, we will use the simple interest formula as shown below:

Simple interest = P × R × T

where:

P = principal = $800

R = Rate in decimal = 8.75% = 0.0875

T = time = ???

simple interest = $800 ( her money doubles)

∴ 800 = 800 × 0.0875 × t

800 = 70 × t

∴ t = 800 ÷ 70 = 11.4 years. (11 years and 3 months)

Therefore after approximately 11 years and 3 months, Belinda's investments doubles

20% tip on a bill of $15.33
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

tip = 3.07

final bill = 18.40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tip, we take the percent times the bill

tip = 20% * 15.33

     .20 *15.33

    3.066

Rounding to the nearest cent

   3.07

The final bill is the tip plus the bill

final bill = 15.33+3.07

18.40
