Answer:

29

Explanation:

Let John be x years old.

Michael is <span>x+17</span> years old.

In four years time, the sum of their ages will be 49:

<span>x+x+17+2<span>(4)</span>=49</span>

<span>2x=24</span>

<span>x=12</span>

So Michael is <span>12+17=29</span> years old now.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

w =4 ft and l =10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

l = 2w+2

A = l*w

A = (2w+2)(w)

 40  = (2w+2) w

Distribute

40 = 2w^2 +2w

Subtract 40

0 = 2w^2 +2w - 40

Dividing each side by 2

0 = w^2 +w -20

Factor

0 = (w+5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w+5 =0     w-4=0

w= -5  w=4

Since we cant have a negative length

w=4

l = 2w+2 = 2(4)+2 = 8+2 =10

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$7,012.76

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 7/100

r = 0.07 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.07/1)(1)(5)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.07)(5)

A = $7,012.76

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 7% per year compounded 1 times per year over 5 years is $7,012.76.

the area of a reactangle mirror is 11 11/16 square feet the width of the mirror is 2 2/4 feet. if there is a 5 foot tall space o
77julia77 [94]
So square feet is area which is legnth times width or area=lw or a=lw

width=w=2 2/4
2/4=1/2
w=2 1/2=5/2

a=lw
11 11/16=187/16
187/16=l(5/2)

multiply both sides by 2/5 to clear the fraction (1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1)

374/80=legnth
simplify
374/80=187/40=4 27/40=legnth

legnh must be less than 5 and 4 and 27/40 is less than 5 so it will fit
