Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a,b,c,d,x represent the five integers in Ascending order.

Given;

The sum of five different positive integers is 320

a+b+c+d+x = 320 .......1

The sum of the greatest three integers in this set is 283

c+d+x = 283 .....2

The sum of the greatest and least integers is 119

a+x = 119 ......3

For the largest possible value;

From equation 3, if a is as low as 1,

x = 119-1 = 118

x = 118

For the least possible value;

Subtract equation 2 from 1

a+b = 320-283 = 37

We know that a cannot be higher than b, so the highest possible value of a is;

a = 37-b

a = 37- 19 = 37-19

a = 18

Substituting into equation 3

x = 119-18 = 101

Difference;

∆x = 118-101 = 17

You buy items costing $1900 and finance the cost with a fixed installment loan for 24 months at 8% simple interest per year.
ddd [48]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. $304
  2. $91.83

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The finance charge is found from the simple interest formula;

  I = Prt

where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.

24 months is 2 years, so the interest charged is ...

  I = $1900×0.08×2 = $304

The finance charge is $304.

__

2. The monthly payment will be the total amount due, divided by the number of months.

  payment = ($1900 +304)/24 = $2204/24 ≈ $91.83

The monthly payment is $91.83.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Chapter 9 TRP 9-1

Assume the taxpayer does NOT wish to contribute to the Presidential Election Fund, unless otherwise stated in the problem.

 

Assume all taxpayers did NOT receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency during the year.

 

Juliette White is a head of household taxpayer with a daughter named Sabrina. They live at 1009 Olinda Terrace, Apartment 5B, Reno, NV 78887. Juliette works at a local law firm, Law Offices of Dane Gray, and attends school in the evenings at Reno Community College (RCC). She is taking some general classes and is not sure what degree she wants to pursue yet. She is taking three units this semester. Full-time status at RCC is nine units. Juliette’s mother watches Sabrina after school and in the evenings (no charge) so that Juliette can work and take classes at RCC. Social security numbers are 412-34-5670 for Juliette and 412-34-5672 for Sabrina. Their birth dates are as follows: Juliette, 10/31/1988; and Sabrina, 3/1/2013.

The Form W-2 Juliette received from the Law Offices of Dane Gray contained the following information:

 

Wages (box 1) = $ 29,502.30

Federal W/H (box 2) = $ 1,007.14

Social security wages (box 3) = $ 29,502.30

Social security W/H (box 4) = $ 1,829.14

Medicare wages (box 5) = $ 29,502.30

Medicare W/H (box 6) = $ 427.78

 

Juliette also had the following expenses:

Education expenses:  

Tuition for Reno Community College $ 775

 

Prepare Juliette’s federal tax return. Use Form 1040 and any additional appropriate schedules or forms she may need for credits. For any missing information, make reasonable assumptions. (Input all the values as positive numbers. Instructions can be found on certain cells within the forms. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Do not skip rows, while entering in Dependents section of Form 1040 PG1.)

 

Use the appropriate Tax Tables and EIC table.

Identify this conic section.
BaLLatris [955]
Solve for x or y or 1
solving for y
divide both sides by x
y=25/x
not a line because x has t ohave exponent of 1, this one is y=25x^-1

ok, solve for something else
solve for 1
xy/25=1
this doesn't fit into the standard forms of any of the conic sections
if we were to subsitute points we would see it is a hyperbola that is diagonal with the x and y axises as assemtots

it is a hyperbola
