Answer:

length = 22

width = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula

P =2(l+w)

we know the length is x

width is x-9

P =70

Substituting this into the equation

70 = 2(x+x-9)

Combining like terms

70=2(2x-9)

Distributing the 2

70 = 4x-18

Adding 18 to each side

70+18 = 4x-18+18

88 = 4x

Divide by 4

88/4 = 4x/4

22= x

we know the length is x

length = 22

width is x-9

width = 22-9= 13

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

All payments will be made at the end of the year by using the present value of inflows

Step-by-step explanation:

Present Value Of Inflows = Cash Inflow × Present Value Of Discounting Factor (Rate%,Time Period)

Present Value Of Inflows = $15000/1.037$ + $25000/1.037^{2}$ + $40000/1.037^{3}$ + $60000/1.037^{4}$

Present Value Of Inflows = 125466.3

If 15% of an item is $18.00 what was the original price?

larisa [96]

<span>from the whole price,
15% of this price is equal to $18.00.
therefore if 15 % equals $18.00

then 100% is the original price therefore 100 % = 18.00 / 15 % x 100% = $120 therefore original price = $120</span>

Blake and Ned work for home remodeling business they are putting the final touches on a home they renovated. working alone Blake

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

3.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Blake can do work in hours = 9

Blake can do a part of work in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{9}$

Ned can paint the same room in six hours.

Ned can do a part of work in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{6}$

They can do a part of work together in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{5}{18}$

Now they can do $\frac{5}{18}$ part of work in hour = 1

So, they can do whole work in hours = $\frac{1}{\frac{5}{18}}$

= $3.6$

Hence it will take 3.6 hours to paint the room if they work together.
