Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
$2,851.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets use the compound interest formula to solve:
<em>P = initial balance</em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>
<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>
<em>t = time</em>
First, change 1.1% into a decimal:
1.1% -> 
-> 0.011
Next, plug the values into the equation:
She will have $2,851.80 after 5 years.
Answer:
x^2-8x+16
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-4)^2
x^2-4x-4x+16
x^2-8x+16
4 because if you divide 120/30 you get 4
