2(3x - 4) = 5x + 20
6x - 8 = 5x + 20
subtract 5x from both sides
x - 8 = 20
add 8 to both sides
x = 28

Answer:

The value of "x" is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

As can see in the attach the length of both diagonals is the same. From the problem, you have the length of segment qr = 3x -4, which represents half of the diagonal. Then, length of segment np = 5x + 20, is the completa diagonal. So, you have to multiply the equation for qr by 2 and then equal it to equation of segment np.

2·(3x - 4) = 5x + 20 ⇒ 6x - 8 = 5x + 20 ⇒ 6x - 5x = 20 + 8 ⇒ x = 28.

Summarizing the value of "x" is 28.

Sladkaya [172]

The average price paid by him for the shares after 3 months is ksh. 163.33

<h3>Average</h3>

  • Total value of shares bought = ksh.20,000

  • Amount of shares bought in the first three months = ksh.120, ksh.160 and ksh.210

Average price paid for the shares after 3 months

= (120 + 160 + 210) / 3

= 490 / 3

= 163.333333333333

aleksley [76]

Answer:

6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Tammy deposited $520 in the bank account that earns simple interest every year after 5 years she had earned $156.

To find the interest rate we will use simple interest formula.

I=P*r*T

I= Interest.

P= Principal amount.

r=Annual interest rate (in decimal form).

T= Time in years.

We have been given that I=156, T=5, P=520

Upon substituting our values in above formula we will get,

156=520*r*5

156=2600r

r=\frac{156}{2600}

r=0.06

Let us multiply 0.06 by 100 to convert annual interest rate in percentage.

0.06*100=6 \text{ percent}

Therefore, the annual interest rate was 6%.
