Answer:
This is a guess!
When looking at the given equation I can not help but think of compound interest. So I am going to convert this into that format.
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within the context of financial interest:
Looking for:
P
(
1
−
x
)
n
Where P is the principle sum,
x
is the interest and n is the number of interest cycles (annual)

Given:
y
=
5100
(
0.95
)
x
But
0.95
=
1
−
0.05
so we have
y
=
5100
(
1
−
0.05
)
x
But
.
0.05
=
5
100
So we have
y
=
5100
(
1
−
5
100
)
x
Thus the percentage change each year is
−
5
%
Step-by-step explanation:
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.
The area of each of these is 864 square feet.
Hello there!
The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15
First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.
Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4
Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.
Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.
The largest number is 5.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
2323
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the questions above, the report from the traffic jam says the traffics jam stretches for 5.5 miles
As Connor assumes that each car is about 12.5 long
The next step is to convert 5.5 miles into feet.
Since 1 mile = 5280
To convert 5.5 miles, 5.5 x 5280 = 29040 feet
To find the numbers of cars struck in traffic, we will have to divide 29040 by 12.5
29040/12.5 = 2323.3 ≅ 2323
