Hi there!

To solve x/2 = -5, you would have to multiply 2 on both sides, so that we can have x instead of x/2.

x/2 × 2 = -5 × 2
x = -10

Your answer is C. x = -10.

Hope this helped! :)

X= -10 because
-10/2 = -5

Answer:

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of a rectangle ( $p$ ) is:

$p = 2\cdot b + 2\cdot h$ (1)

Where:

$b$ - Base of the rectangle.

$h$ - Height of the rectangle.

Let suppose that the base of the rectangle is the line segment between (4, -3) and (-1, -3). The length of the base is calculated by Pythagorean Theorem:

$b = \sqrt{[(-1)-4]^{2}+[(-3)-(-3)]^{2}}$

$b = 5$

If we know that $p = 18$ and $b = 5$ , then the height of the rectangle is:

$2\cdot h = p-2\cdot b$

$h = \frac{p-2\cdot b}{2}$

$h = \frac{p}{2}-b$

$h = 4$

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Answer:

money market: $1000
stock: $238,500
mutual fund: $228,500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x and y represent the amounts invested in the stock and mutual fund, respectively. Then the amount invested in the money market account was (468000 -x -y). Two relations can be written.

x = y + 10000 . . . . . 10,000 more was invested in stock than in mutual funds

0.035(468000-x-y) +0.04(x) -0.03(y) = 2720 . . . . first-year return

Collecting terms in the second equation gives ...

0.005x -0.065y +16380 = 2720

-x + 13y = 2732000 . . . . . . subtract 16380, multiply by -200

12y -10000 = 2732000 . . . . substitute for x using the first equation

y = 2742000/12 = 228,500 . . . . solve for y

x = 228,500 +10,000 = 238,500 . . . . . find x from the first equation

468,000 -x -y = 468,000 -467,000 = 1,000 . . . . find the money market amount

Pierre invested $1000 in the money market account, $238,500 in the stock, and $228,500 in the mutual fund.
