Mathematics

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, hence

AE = EC, that is

x² - 6 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6

AC = x² - 6 + 5x = 6² - 6 + 5(6) = 36 - 6 + 30 = 60

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 9 when x = 3, thus

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-9}{3} = - 3

y = - 3x ← equation of variation

When y = 18, then

18 = - 3x ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 6

Find current interest:
=$2543.32 * 17.4%
=2543.32 * 0.174
=442.537

Add the interest to the current balance:
=2543.32 + 442.537
=2985.857

Add new transaction:
=2985.857 + 320
=3305.857 rounded to 3305.86

The answer is C) $3305.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length × width.  If we divided 96 (area) by 8 (width) we should get the length. 98 ÷  8 = 12.
