Legnth are x and y
x+y=100
one is 16 more than other
x is 16 more than y
x=16+y
x=16+y therefor we can put 16+y for x
(16+y)+y=100
16+y+y=100
16+2y=100
minus 16 both sides
2y=84
divide by 2
y=42
sub back
x=16+y
x=16+42
x=58
the legnsh are
42 cm and 58cm
Answer:
X+42y = 5,000 y = 42x + 5000.

Answer: 10</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The two smaller triangles are proportional, which lets us set up this equation
5/n = n/15
Cross multiplying leads to
5*15 = n*n
n^2 = 75
----------
Apply the pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle on top, or on the right.
a^2+b^2 = c^2
5^2+n^2 = m^2
25+75 = m^2
100 = m^2
m^2 = 100
m = sqrt(100)
m = 10
Answer:
can be expressed as decimal: 0.025
s= 1.025* $250
= $256.25
after 8 years
s= $250* 1.025^8
~$304.6
earned $54.6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 and a half is equivilant to 2.5
because it is a % (out of 100) move the decimal 2 places down
2.5-->0.25-->0.025
so can be expressed as decimal: 0.025
interest after 1 year is:
original amount of money * (interest rate+1.0)
+1 because you are adding on to 100%. you already have 100%. if it was just the interest rate, the amount of money would go down.
so
s= 1.025* $250
=1.025* 250
=256.25
interest after 8 years,
that means you have to take the original, and multiply it by the interest rate, then the new original multiply by intrest rate a total of 8 times
to do this use an exponent, because exponents base the total off the total before them. if that makes any sense srry
s= $250* 1.025^8
~$304.6 (I used calculator)
to get her earnings, subtract the new amount of money with her original amount of money
304.6-250
=54.6
$54.6
hope this helps
