Answer:

Yes, Josh's parent's house in Texas is the midpoint between South Carolina and California

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represents South carolina C represents California and T represents Texas,

Given,

ST = 12x - 106,

TC = 5x + 685,

Also, SC = 2500 miles,

Suppose T is the midpoint of S and C,

⇒ ST = TC

12x - 106 = 5x + 685

7x = 791

⇒ x = \frac{791}{7} = 113

So, ST = 12(113)+106 =1356 - 106 = 1250

Now,

2\times ST = 2\times 1250=2500

⇒ 2 ST = SC

Hence, T is the midpoint of S and C.

Given, distance between South Carolina and Texas = 12x-106

Distance between Texas and California = 5x+685

Let's assume, both the distance is same.

12x-106=5x+685

=> 12x-5x = 685+106

=> 7x = 791

=>x=113

Plug x = 113 in 5x+685

5(113)+685 = 1250 Miles.

Similarly, 12(113)-106=1250 miles

Since 2500 divided by 2 = 1250 miles, hence our assumption was correct, Texas lies between both the cities.

1. Alice invests $1000 at 2% interest compounded monthly over a 5 year period. Assuming no other money is deposited or withdrawn
eduard

Answer:

$1,105.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Alice invests $ 1000 at 2% interest compounded monthly over a 5 year period, assuming no other money is deposited or withdrawn, to determine what is the total amount of money in her account after 5 years, the following calculation must be performed:

X = 1,000 (1 + 0.02 / 12) ^ 5x12

X = 1,105.08

Thus, the amount of money in her account after 5 years would be $ 1,105.08.

Answer:

x = 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said:

If two angles are not corresponding, then they make up 180°. They are more known as supplementary angles.

So the equation is:

a + b = 180°

Substitute

x + 8 + 3 x + 2 = 180°

x + 3x + 8 + 2 = 180°

4x + 10° = 180°

4x = 180° - 10°

4x = 170°

x = 170° ÷ 4

x = 42.5
