First number is a and second one is 2a+4
a(2a+4)=48
a(a+2)=24
a^2+2a-24=0
(a+6)(a-4)=0
the question says a is negative so a=-6 b=-8

∠A and \angle B∠B are supplementary angles. If m\angle A=(x-16)^{\circ}∠A=(x−16) ∘ and m\angle B=(3x+28)^{\circ}∠B=(3x+28) ∘ , t

Answer:

∠A = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles total 180°.

∠A +∠B = 180°

(x -16)° +(3x +28)° = 180°

4x° + 12° = 180°

x° +3° = 45°

x° = 42°

∠A = (x -16)° = 42° -16°

∠A = 26°

Find the interest earned and the future value of an annuity with weekly payments of $400 for three years into an account that pa

qaws [65]

Answer:

the interest earned= 93.401

and the future value of an annuity= 493.401

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Interest rate= 7%

time,t = 3 years

weekly payment, P= 400

At the end of 3 years, final investment A= ?

n= 52 as it is weekly

As per the interest formula

A= P(1+r/n)^nt

Putting value in above equation

= $400\left(1+\frac{0.07}{52}\right)^{156}$

= 493.401

Interest earned = A-P

= 493.401-400

= 93.401 !

Find the value of x that makes the equation true. x + 4 = 12

kirill115 [55]

x + 4 = 12 Subtract 4 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of n and 5 is (n + 5), then multiply by 3 gives

3(n + 5)

The result is at least 17 which means it must be greater than or equal to 17

3(n + 5) ≥ 17
