Since there are no special paameters mentioned to solve the problem, algebra will be employed.

What we have so far:
Total debit = $<span>12,200
Total credit = $</span><span>11,500
Total transactions = </span>Total credit - Total debit<span>
Final balance = $</span><span>5,000

To solve:
Let us use the working equation: Initial Balance = Final Balance + |Total Transactions|
Initial Balance  =  </span>$5,000 + |$11,500 - $12,200|
Initial Balance  =  $5,000 + |-$700| <--- remember that -$700 is an absolute value which makes it positive.
Initial Balance  =  $5,700 <--- What we are looking for.

Checking:
Early May: $5,700
Around May : $5,700 - Total Debit (Assumption)
Around May : $5,700 - $12,200 = -$6,500 (Assumption)
Around May: -$6,500 + Total Credit (Assumption)
Around May: -$6,500 + $11,500 = $5,000 (Assumption)
31st of May: $5,000 <--- Proven

∴The answer is: $5,700, the initial balance at the beginning of May.

What will be the new position of the given point after rotating 180 about the origin
leva [86]

Answer: a) First quadrant


Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture, the position of the given point is in third quadrant.

Every point in third quadrant are in the form of (-a,-b), where a and b are any positive numbers [both x and y axis are negative there]

Also after rotation of 180° the point (x,y) will map to (-x,-y)

therefore, after rotation of 180° the point (-a,-b) will map to

(-(-a),-(-b))=(a,b), where a and b are any positive numbers

Thus, the coordinate of image point =(a,b)

Since both x and y coordinate of the image are positive therefore it must lie in the first quadrant.

Can anyone please help me what is x<br>​
Masja [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

the side on the left of 155 is 180-155 which is 25

the one on top of 120 is 180-120 which is 60 so the one on the right of x is 180-(25+60) which is 95

now the value of x is 180-95 which is 85.

in the second one x=180-100 because the angle on the bottom of x is corresponding to the one that's equal to 100, so x=180-100 which is 80

for the first one x=85

the second one x=80

Hellpp please 20 points for that​
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) 12cm

b) 360cm²

c) 2160cm cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

you would use Pythagoras theorem  for A

so half of 18 is 9

15² - 9² = 144

the square root of 144 is 12

the height is 12cm

b)

18 x 20 = 360cm²

c)

csa x L

csa = b x h divide by 2

18 x 12 = 216cm²/2 = 108cm²

108xm² x 20cm = 2160cm cubed
