well, 2/5 of the distance AB is simply their product, thus 2/5 of AB is just (2/5)AB.


\bf \stackrel{A}{-7}\stackrel{\textit{7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{17em}{0.25pt}}0\stackrel{\textit{3 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\stackrel{B}{3}
\\\\\\
AB=7+3\implies AB=10~\hspace{7em}\cfrac{2}{5}AB\implies \cfrac{2}{5}(10)\implies 4
\\\\\\
-7\rule[0.35em]{2em}{0.25pt}-6\rule[0.35em]{2em}{0.25pt}-5\rule[0.35em]{2em}{0.25pt}-4\rule[0.35em]{2em}{0.25pt}\boxed{-3}

The classes could each have proportions of 5 boys to 6 girls, but they don’t necessarily have to be exactly 5 to 6. The number could 5 to 6 for one class, but it could also be 10 to 12 for another class, since 10 to 12 is a scale factor of 5 to 6.

Dominic considers buying 2 points on a 25-year, fixed rate mortgage for $187,600. His interest rate will be 5.45% if he does not
algol [13]

Answer:

If Dominic buys 2 points (2% of the loan value) he will get a better rate and hence less payment.  The question is asking how long will it take him to save the initial investment of 2% of the loan value due to a smaller payment.  The monthly payment at 5.45% is  $1,146.43,  the monthly payment for 5.2% is  $1,118.66.  This is a difference of  $27.77 per month.  The 2 points will cost him  $3,752.00.  The question is asking how long will it take Dominic to re-coup his  $3,752.00 if he saves $27.77 per month.  Just divide the 2 numbers and you get  135.10 months.  If you divide that by 12 you get 11.26 years, which is roughly 11 years, 4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please help!! Use cube root to solve. Will give brainliest!!
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: x=-17

Step-by-step explanation: Divide by -1 then add 8 to both sides and get (x+9)^3=-512, and the cube root of -512 is -8, so x+9=-8, and subtracting 9 from both sides we get x=-17 as answer.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

let dimention of original garden be x

then (x-8)(x-5) = 180

x^2 -13x -140 = 0

(x-20)(x+7)=0

x= 20 or x = -7

x = 20

original area = (20)^2

= 400 m^2
