Given/equations formed from text:
I: l=w+3
II: A=l*w
III: new area B=(l-2)*w
IV: B=A-30

substitute l in II with I to remove l:
II': A=l*w=
(w+3)*w=
w^2+3w

substitute l in III with I to remove l:
III': B=(l-2)*w=
(w+3-2)*w=
(w+1)*w=
w^2+w

substitute A and B from II' and III' into IV:
B=A-30
w^2+w=w^2+3w-30
30=2w
w=15

insert w=15 into I:
l=15+3=18
->
A) dimensions of full size rectangle are width 15 and length 18
dimensions of reduced size rectangle are width 15 and length 16

B) full size: 15*18=10*18+5*18=180+90=270cm^2
reduced size: 15*16=10*16+5*16=160+80=240cm^2

yan [13]

Answer:

c = 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of the triangle are a and b and the hypotenuse is c

Let a be the shorter leg

The hypotenuse is 5 more than the longest leg

c = b+5

The shortest leg is 20

a = 20

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

Substituting in what we know from above

20 ^2 + b^2 = (b+5)^2

FOIL  (b+5)^2 = b^2 +5b+5b +25 = b^2+10b+25

400 + b^2 = b^2+10b+25

Subtract b^2 from both sides

400+b&2-b^2 = b^2 -b^2 +10b+25

400 = 10b+25

Subtract 25 from both sides

400-25 = 10b+25-25

375 = 10b

Divide by 10

375/10 = 10b/10

37.5 = b

But we want to find c

c=b+5

c = 37.5+5

c = 42.5

find the present value of an investment that is worth $19,513.75 after earning 3percent simple interest for 5.5 years
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

present value = $16750

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula allows us to calculate A, which is the final amount. According to this formula, the amount is given by A = P (1 + r*t), where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate in decimal form, and t is the loan period expressed in years

simple interest formula:

t: time

P: present value

A: amount

r : anual interest

A = P (1 + r*t)

P = A / (1 + r*t)

P = 19,513.75 / (1 + 3/100 * 5.5)

P = 19,513.75/ (1 + 0.165)

P = 19,513.75 / 1.165

P = 16750

present value = $16750

The number of a two dollar bill i need to pay for a purchase is 9 more than the number of 5 dollar bills i need to pay for the s
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we need t $2 bills and v $5 bills.

We need 9 more $2 bills than $5 bills, so:

t = 9 + v

We also know that the amount of money in t $2 bills is 2 * t = 2t. The amount of money in v + 9 $5 bills is 5 * (v + 9) = 5v + 45. These amounts are equal:

5v + 45 = 2t

Plug v + 9 in for t in 5v = 2t + 18:

5v = 2t + 18

5v = 2 * (9 + v) + 18

5v = 18 + 2v + 18

3v = 36

v = 12

We have 12 $5 bills, so that total cost is 12 * 5 = $60.
