Answer:

Billy has $27.51

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's set up an equation to solve this problem.

Assign a variable to Billy's amount. Let's make it x.

Then we just interpret the problem and solve:

2x - 1.30 = 53.72

+1.30 +1.30

----------------------------

2x = 55.02

(Divide by 2 on both sides)

----------------------------

x = $27.51

2x = Billy's amount doubled

2x - 1.30 = Taking away 1.30 from double Billy's amount

53.72 = Sara's amount

Answer:

Option B. 8.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple index of two stocks: i=?

i=[(5,000*5.1+2,500*7.45)/(5,000*4.5+2,500*7.25)-1]*100%

i=[(25,500+18,625)/(22,500+18,125)-1]*100%

i=[(44,125)/(40,625)-1]*100%

i=[1.086153846-1]*100%

i=[0.086153846]*100%

i=8.6153846%

i=8.6%

Rewrite in Polar Form....<br> x^(2)+y^(2)-6y-8=0

skad [1K]

$\bf x^2+y^2-6y-8=0\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x^2+y^2=r^2\\\\
y=rsin(\theta)
\end{cases}\implies r^2-6rsin(\theta)=8
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we do some grouping}\implies [r^2-6rsin(\theta)]=8
\\\\\\\
[r^2-6rsin(\theta)+\boxed{?}^2]=8\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{so we need a value there to make}\\
\textit{a perfect square trinomial}
\end{array}$

$\bf 6rsin(\theta)\iff 2\cdot r\cdot \boxed{3\cdot sin(\theta)}\impliedby \textit{so there}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, bear in mind we're just borrowing from zero, 0}
\\\\
\textit{so if we add, \underline{whatever}, we also have to subtract \underline{whatever}}$

$\bf [r^2-6rsin(\theta)\underline{+[3sin(\theta)]^2}]\quad \underline{-[3sin(\theta)]^2}=8\\\\
\left. \qquad \right.\uparrow \\
\textit{so-called "completing the square"}
\\\\\\\
[r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+[3sin(\theta)]^2\implies [r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+9sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
r-3sin(\theta)=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}\implies r=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}+3sin(\theta)$
