Answer:

use the combination method

Step-by-step explanation:

     x - 2y = -13

+ 5 x + 2y = -17


since 2y is in both equations you cancel them out.


5x + x = 6x    

-2y + 2y = 0

-13 + (-17) = -30

put it back into the equation

6x + 0 = -30 or 6x = -30

6x ÷ 6 = x

-30 ÷ 6 = -5

x = -5

then plug into the equation x - 2y = -13 and 5x + 2y = -17


-5 - 2y = -13

-13 + 5 = -8

-2y = -8

y = 4


x = -5 and y = 4

Hypotenuse Math. 15 Points.
Rina8888 [55]

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

A and B are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.

4^2 + 5^2 = c^2

Simplify:

16+25 = c^2

41 = c^2

Take the square root of both sides:

c=√41

Determine the future value of a $25000 investment at an annual rate of 4.85% compounded quarterly for 6 years.
Nutka1998 [239]
 = $ 32,275.00

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 4.85%/100 = 0.0485 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
24 quarters ÷ 4 quarters/year = 6 years,
then, solving our equation

A = 25000(1 + (0.0485 × 6)) = 32275 
A = $ 32,275.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 25,000.00
at a rate of 4.85% per year
for 6 years (24 quarters) is $ 32,275.00.
