Lol


trouble varies directly as distance
lets say t=trouble and d=distance
t=kd
k is constant

given
when t=20, and d=400
find k
20=400k
divide by 400 both sides
1/20=k



t=(1/20)d

given, d=60
find t

t=(1/20)60
t=60/20
t=3

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x−7. The perimeter of the triangle is 77. Find x.
irinina [24]
Answer: x=13


Step 1: Define isosceles triangle

In an isosceles triangle, two sides and angles are equal. The equal sides will be the legs.

Step 2: Write an equation

To write an equation we must first consider the information discussed in step 1. Since we know that the legs will be equal, we will add that to the equation twice. The base and legs will be on one side of the equation, and the perimeter will be on the other. Now we can write the equation!

x+3x-7+3x-7=77

Step 3: Combine like terms

Like terms are terms that share the same variable, or lack of. Let’s add/subtract these now.

x+3x-7+3x-7=77
7x-14=77

Step 4: Solve for x

Let’s do the last part of the equation and solve for x, our final answer.

*Rewrite equation*
7x-14=77
*Add 14 to both sides*
7x=91
*Divide 7 on both sides*
x=13

This is your answer. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

Corey invested $1500 when he was a freshman in order to save for college. If he chooses to invest it in an account that earns 3.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: He will have $1721.28. after 4 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use to find the compounded amount A is :

A=P(1+r)^t, where P= principal value, r = rate of interest , t= time.

As per given , we have

P=$1500  , r=3.5%=0.035 , t= 4 years

Money he will have after 4 years = 1500(1+0.035)^4

=1500(1.035)^4\\\\=1721.28450094\approx1721.28

Hence, he will have $1721.28. after 4 years.
