<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

(c) 4.1 km

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that the height of the balloon is 4 km and that it is 1 km away from the station.

Setting up the diagram that describes the given scenario, we would end up with a right-angled triangle as the one shown in the attached image

<u>where:</u>

height of the balloon = 4 km represents one side of the triangle

distance between the base of the balloon and the station = 1 km represents the other side

distance between the balloon and the station is the length we want to find and it represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

<u>To get the length of the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean theorem</u>

hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(side1)^2 + (side2)^2}

<u>Substitute with the givens:</u>

hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(4)^2 + (1)^2} = √17 ≈ 4.1 km

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

15x-6y=48

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system of equations:

5x-2y=16\\15x-7y=51

And we want to multiply the first equation by some constant such that the resulting equation matches the coefficient of [x] in the second equation.

We can see that the coefficient of x in the second equation is 15.

So, to match 15, we must multiply the first equation by 3. So:

3(5x-2y)=3(16)

Multiply:

15x-6y=48

And we're done!

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

3,992.34 (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

Set an equation:

25000(1+.025)^6

and you should get an answer of 28992.33546

Then you should subtract the initial amount which is 25000 to find out how much interest is being paid.

So finally the answer would be 3,992.34.

If im not wrong that is :)
