The first step would be to combine like terms which is 3p and p so your equation would look like:

4p - 7 = 13

In the second step you would add 7 to both sides which would give you:

4p = 20

The third and last step would be to divide both sides with 4 which would give you your answer:

p = 5

Ramu and ravi borrowed rs 8000

Phoenix [80]

Answer: Rs. 11,520

Step-by-step explanation:

As the method of compounding is not stated, the default of simple interest will be used.

Simple interest is a fixed amount that is paid over the course of the loan and is based on the original amount borrowed.

Formula is:

Amount owed = Amount borrowed * ( 1 + rate * time)

= 8,000 * ( 1 + 8% * 5.5 years)

= 8,000 * 1.44

= rs 11,520

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

$\sqrt{xy}$

The Arithmetic mean is

$\frac{x + y}{2}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

$\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} } = \frac{3}{5}$

We can write the equation;

$\sqrt{xy} = 3$

$xy = 9 - - - (2)$

and

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 5$

$x + y = 10 - - - (2)$

Make y the subject in equation 2

$y = 10 - x - - - (3)$

Put equation 3 in 1

$x(10 - x) = 9$

$10x - {x}^{2} = 9$

${x}^{2} - 10x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0$

$x =1 \: or \: 9$

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

$\frac{1}{9}$

Which of these equations is for a line perpendicular to y-3=5(x-2)?

olasank [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3=5(x-2) (rearrange this to be in slope- intercept from) (add 3 to both sides)

y = 5(x-2) + 3 (distribute parentheses)

y = x(5) - 2(5) + 3

y = 5x -10 + 3

y = 5x - 7

recall that for a line with gradient m, the gradient of the perpendicular line will be - (1/m)

hence in our case, our gradient of the original line is 5, hence the gradient of the perpendicular line is -1/5

From the choices, the only one that is consistent with this is C

i.e choice C:

5y + x = 25

5y = -x + 25

y = -(1/5) x + 5 ===> gradient of -1/5
