Answer:

A.) -9

Step-by-step explanation:

it is observed that triangles ABL and KML are similar triangles

hence the following ratios are valid:

LA / LK = LB/LM = AB/KM

we can see that LA/LK = LB/LM = 1/2

hence the above ratio becomes

1/2 = AB/KM  (rearranging)

KM = 2AB

We are given that KM = (x + 21) and AB = (x + 15)

hence

KM = 2AB

(x + 21) = 2 (x + 15)

x + 21 = 2x + 30

x - 2x = 30 - 21

-x = 9

x = -9

Distribute the x3 to each number. The coefficient stays the same but add exponent (3) onto each x. Final answer is: x to the seventh power plus 8X to the sixth power plus 2X to the fifth power +18 X to the fourth power +9x the third power

Solve by using proper methods. Show your work.
NeX [460]

Answer:

$70,201.38

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the principal amount, we can use the formula:

P=\dfrac{A}{(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}}

A = $200,000

r = 7% or 0.07

t = 15 years

n = 12

Now let's substitute our values.

P=\dfrac{200,000}{(1+\frac{0.07}{12})^{12(15)}}

P=\dfrac{200,000}{(1.00583333333)^{12(15)}}

P=70,201.38

So the principal needed to get 200,000 in 15 years is $70,201.38.

Why can it help to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
Colt1911 [192]
Because it helps to see which one is greater, For example: if you line up 0.079 and 0.127 you can easily tell that 0.0127 is greater because it is closer to a hole number. Another example: 0.1 and 0.3, obviously 0.3 is greater. in conclusion, the reason you line up the decimal points is to make it easier to see which numbers are greater, which helps you compare and order easily!

Write an equation of a line that passes through the points (1, 7) and (5, 19) . Give the final form in slope intercept form. (Pl
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

y = 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 = 19

y1 = 7

x2 = 5

x1 = 1

Slope = (19 - 7)/(5 - 1)

slope = 12 / 4

slope = 3

So far what you have is

y = 3x + b                      To solve for b, use either of the two points.

x = 1

y = 7

7 = 3(1) + b

7 = 3 + b

b = 4

The final equation is

y = 3x + 4                    

We should check that with the other  point

x = 5                  Find y

y = 3(5) + 4

y = 15 + 4

y = 19              Ans it checks.
