To get the answer we have to find number of towers.
If Arturo built 3 sandcastles with 6 towers each we can say that Arturo built
3*6=18 towers
If Paco built 5 sandcastles with 4 towers each we can say that Paco built
5*4=20 towers
20-18=2 - difference between Paco and Arturo
Answer:Arturo made more towers. The difference is 2.

X^2 - y^2 = 100

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rewriting the second equation in terms of "x":

$x+y=5$

Subtract y from both sides:

$x=5-y$

Now, substitute "5-y" for "x" in the first equation:

$(5-y)^2-y^2=100$

Note that:

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$25-10y+y^2-y^2=100$

Cancel out like terms:

$25-10y=100$

Subtract 25 from both sides:

$-10y=75$

Divide both sides by -10

$y=\frac{75}{-10}=\frac{15}{-2}=-\frac{15}{2}$

Now, substitute this value back into either of the equations to solve for x.

$x+y=5\\x-\frac{15}{2}=5\\$

Add 15/2 to both sides:

$x=5+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{25}{2}$

Now, find the difference:

$x-y=\frac{25}{2}-(-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{25}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20$

Please help it’s asking the perimeter to the nearest tenth

valkas [14]

Pythagoras theoram? use it here!

That is,

H² = B² + P²

H² = 15² + 4²

H² = 225 + 16

H = √241

H = 15.5

You should opt for 15.5

P.S: Best of luck for your test! ;))

Suzanne is looking at taking out a personal loan. Opportunity Loans is offering her $1600 at 3.45% for 1 year, with interest com

AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the general formula for compound interest is $A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ where r is the interest rate, t is the time in years, and n is the amount of compounds per year. So plugging in the values for both equations you'll get

Opportunity Loans:

$A = 1600(1+\frac{0.0345}{12})^{(12)(1)}$

$A = 1600(1.002875)^{12}$

$A \approx 1600(1.035)$

$A = \$1,656.08$

Now to find the interest accrued on this loan you simply subtract 1600 from the A or final amount

$Interest=1656.08-1600\\Interest=56.08$

General Loans:

$A = 1600(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{(4)(1)}$

$A = 1600(1.0105)^4$

$A \approx 1600(1.042)$

$A = 1,668.27$

To find the interest we do the same thing we did in the previous problem

$interest = 1668.27-1600\\interest=68.27$

Opportunity loans has the least amount of interest after a year
