Answer:

262 books sold

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very vague word problem, but if it truly is just asking the amount of books sold (regardless of music or science), here's how to get the answer:

1. 287+134=421 - first you want to add together the two types of books to get the total amount of books in the store

2. 421-x=159 - create an equation and solve.

3. -x=-262 - follow order of operations and subtract 421 on both sides in order to isolate the variable

4. x=262 - divide each side by -1 to make the variable positive.

If you'd like an easier way, you can just:

1. 421-159=262 - it's easier, but my math teacher would count us wrong if we didn't do equations a specific way. Good luck!

vova2212 [387]

Step-by-step explanation:

x=y+9

substitute

3(y+9)+8y=-6

3y+27+8y= -6

13y = -6 -27

13y= -33

y = -33/13

x = -33/13 + 9

The value of the angle m∠4 is 105 degrees.

<h3>How to find angles in a quadrilateral?</h3>

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.

Therefore,

m∠1 + m∠2  + m∠3 + m∠4 = 360°

Hence,

x + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 = 360

4x + 60 = 360

4x = 360 - 60

4x = 300

x = 360 / 4

x = 75

Therefore,

m∠4 = 75 + 30 = 105°

Suppose that 10 years ago you bought a home for $160,000, paying 10% as a down payment, and financing the rest at 9% interest fo
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Current monthly payment on their existing mortgage would be $1158.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cash value = $160,000

Down payment = 10% of 160,000

Down Payment = $16,000

Balance amount = 160,000 - 16,000 = $144,000

Monthly payment formula:

P=\dfrac{r(PV)}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}

where,

PV is present value of home, PV=$144,000

r is rate per period , r=\frac{9}{1200}=0.0075

n is number of period, n=30x12 = 360

P=\dfrac{0.0075\times 144000}{1-(1+0.0075)^{-360}}

P=\$ 1158.66

Monthly payment would be same for 30 years.

Thus, Current monthly payment on their existing mortgage would be $1158.66
