Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{ \sf{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \frac{29}{5} }}}}}$ </h3>

Option B is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{x - 1}{8} }$

Apply cross product property

⇒ $\sf{ 5(x - 1) = 3 \times 8}$

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

⇒ $\sf{5x - 5 = 3 \times 8}$

Multiply the numbers

⇒ $\sf{5x - 5 = 24}$

Move 5 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒ $\sf{5x = 24 + 5}$

Add the numbers

⇒ $\sf{5x = 29}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{29}{5} }$

⇒ $\sf{x = \frac{29}{5} }$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

If we need sections that are 18 ft. long from available 78 ft. long line than we will divide 78/18 =4.(3)
So we will get 4 sections that are 18 ft. long and we will have a remainder of 6 ft line not used.

A system of equations is given below. y=1/2x-3 and -1/2x-3. Which of the following statements best describes the two lines?

pantera1 [17]

"They have different slopes but the same y-intercept, so they have one solution" is the statement which best describes the two lines.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equations:

$y=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3$

$y=\left(-\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3$

As we know that the slope intercept form of a line is

y = m x + c

So, from equation 1 and equation 2 we can see that

$m_{1}=\frac{1}{2} \quad \text { and } c_{1}=-3$

$m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } c_{2}=-3$

So, from the above expressions, we can say that both lines have different slopes but have same y – intercept with one common solution when x = 0.

Nikita invests $2,000 into a bank account with a 4% annual interest rate. In seven years, which is the most expensive item she c

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Anything that does not cost more than $2,560.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided that Nikita is spending money that she had invested and the amount she collected over the period of 7 years. She can buy any item that costs no more than $2,560.00 but how?

It is a problem of simple interest:

Here the principal amount (P) = $2,000.00

Interest rate (r) = 4%

Time period (t) = 7 years

So, total amount that she would get by the end of 7 years is:

$A=P+SI$
