Hi,
11%= $4950
1%= $4950/ 11
= $450
100%= $450 x 100
= $45 000 (this year)
Last year= $45 000- $2000
= $43 000
Hope this helps:))

What is 2x+3y•4 plz help me

Ray Of Light [21]

Use the distributive property to combine like terms. Since we only have one X value and one y value we need to use the 4. 2x times 4 is 4x. 3y times 4 is 6y. Now the equation can be simplified to 4x plus 6y. We have no more like terms so the equation cannot be simplified any further without more context.

In a quadrilateral ABCD, angle A + angle D = 90°. Prove that AC^2 + BD^2 = BC^2 + AD^2

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

$AD^{2}+BC^{2}=AE^{2}+ED^{2}+BE^{2}+EC^{2}$

$AC^{2}+BD^{2}=AE^{2}+EC^{2}+BE^{2}+ED^{2}$

Hence prove.

$AC^{2}+BD^{2}=BC^{2}+AD^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠A + ∠D = 90°

We are prove to that

$AC^{2}+BD^{2}=BC^{2}+AD^{2}$

Solution:

See required figure in attached file.

We know sum of the all angles of a triangle is 180°.

So, in triangle AED.

∠A + ∠E + ∠D = 180°

∠E + (∠A + ∠D) = 180°

Now, we substitute ∠A + ∠D = 90° in above equation.

∠E + 90° = 180°

∠E = 180° - 90°

∠E = 90°

Using Pythagoras Theorem for triangle ADE and triangle BEC.

$AD^{2}=AE^{2}+ED^{2}$

$BC^{2}=BE^{2}+EC^{2}$

Now, we add both above equations.

$AD^{2}+BC^{2}=AE^{2}+ED^{2}+BE^{2}+EC^{2}$ --------(1)

Similarly, Using Pythagoras Theorem for triangle AEC and triangle BED.

$AC^{2}=AE^{2}+EC^{2}$

$BD^{2}=BE^{2}+ED^{2}$

Now, we add both above equations.

$AC^{2}+BD^{2}=AE^{2}+EC^{2}+BE^{2}+ED^{2}$ --------(2)

We get From equation 1 and equation 2.

$AC^{2}+BD^{2}=BC^{2}+AD^{2}$

Hence prove,

$AC^{2}+BD^{2}=BC^{2}+AD^{2}$
