Answer:

114 and 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the pages are p

Left page = p

Right page = p+1

p(p+1) = 229

2p+ 1 = 229 we want to know what p is so isolate the variable:

-1 -1

2p=228 Divide:

p=114

The pages are 114 and 115

Check: 114+115 = 229

Hope this helps :)

Chris and Becky are comparing mortgages. The mortgage is for $183,500. If they choose 30 years at 5%, their monthly payment will

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

For 30 years at 5% = $354,625.2

For 20 years at 4.5% = $278,618.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The total payback for each payment is given by the monthly payment multiplied by the total number of months for the payment period (years).

1) For 30 years at 5%

Total number of months in 30 years = 30 x 12 = 360 months

Payback = $985.07 x 360 = $354,625.2

2) For 20 years at 4.5%

Total number of months in 20 years = 20 x 12 = 240 months

Payback = $1160.91 x 240 = $278,618.4

The figure is made from squares of different sizes.Find the area of A if the side of each of the two indentical smallest square

Temka [501]

Answer:

The area of square A is 256 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The four sides of a square are equal in length
Area of a square = side × side

In the given figure

∵ The sides of the square E = 2 cm each

∵ The sides of the square F = 2 cm each

∵ The side of square D is the sum of the sides of squares E and F

∴ The sides of the square D = 2 + 2 = 4 cm each

∵ The side of square C is the sum of the sides of squares E and D

∴ The sides of square C = 2 + 4 = 6 cm each

∵ The side of square B is the sum of the sides of squares C, E, and F

∴ The sides of square B = 6 + 2 + 2= 10 cm each

∵ The side of square A is the sum of the sides of squares B, F, and D

∴ The sides of square A = 10 + 2 + 4= 16 cm each

∵ Area of square A = side × side

∴ Area of square A = 16 × 16

∴ Area of square A = 256 cm²

∴ The area of square A is 256 cm²
