Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's an isosceles triangle, WX=WZ= 2n-5

Perimeter = n + (2n-5) + (2n-5)

= 5n - 10

The Perimeter is given to be 20

5n - 10 = 20

5n = 30

n = 6

A new car is purchased for 17000 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 12.25% per year. What will the value of the car be

Scilla [17]

Answer:

$P(t=14) = 17000 (1-0.1225)^{14}= 2728.404$

Step-by-step explanation:

for this case we have the following model for the cost of the car:

$P(t) = P_o (1-r)^t$

Where $P_o$ is the initial amount on this case 17000, t the amount of years after the initial year and r the depreciation rate on this case:

$r= \frac{12.25}{100}=0.1225$

And for t =14 we can replace into the equation and we got:

$P(t=14) = 17000 (1-0.1225)^{14}= 2728.404$

Determine whether the two triangles are similar. PLEASE HELP!!

zvonat [6]

I think that it is C: PQR~XY by AA because there are only two angles that you are given ;the boxes represent 90, so each box has 90 and 62.

Answer:

Total crackers on the plate are 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel ate crackers = $\frac{1}{3}$

His brother ate crackers = $\frac{1}{4}$

Crackers left on the plate = 5

We need to find how many crackers were there on the plate.

Let x be the total crackers on the plate

So, we can write the equation

$x-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}x=5$

Because 1/3 and 1/4 crackers are eaten and 5 are left so, we subtract 1/3x and 1/4x from x and equal it to 5

$\frac{12x-4x-3x}{12}=5\\\frac{12x-7x}{12}=5\\\frac{5x}{12}=5\\x=\frac{5*12}{5}\\x=12$

So, we get x = 12

Therefore, total crackers on the plate are 12

Thomas received a $50 gift card for an online store, and he wants to buy LED lights to decorate his bedroom. If one strand

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Thomas can buy 4 strands.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to round $11.86 to the nearest dollar, which is $12.

Now we ask ourselves, "how many times does 12 go into 50 without going over?"

12 × 4 = 48

12 can go into 50 4 times.
