Hey there! :)
The formula for (a + b)^2 is a^2 + 2ab + b^2. In this case, x is a, and so b would have to be 4. We would need to add 4^2 = 16 to both sides of the equation to complete the square.

ddd [48]

Answer:

$ 2,600 was invested at 4% and $ 3,600 was invested at 9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in investing $ 6,200 of a couple's money, a financial planner put some of it into a savings account paying 4% annual simple interest, and the rest was invested in a riskier mini-mall development plan paying 9% annual simple interest, and the combined interest earned for the first year was $ 428, to determine how much money was invested at each rate, the following calculation must be performed:

3000 x 0.04 + 3200 x 0.09 = 408

2500 x 0.04 + 3700 x 0.09 = 433

2600 x 0.04 + 3600 x 0.09 = 428

Therefore, $ 2,600 was invested at 4% and $ 3,600 was invested at 9%.

Which is the better buy?<br> 13-pint jug of juice for $12.74<br> 3-gallon jug of juice for $30.48
Ainat [17]

Answer: second one

13 pint = 1.625 gallons, so 1.625 gallons =$12.74.

3 gallons = 24 pint. so 24 pints = 30.48

now if we divide 13 and 24.= 1.84615384615

3 divided by 1.625  =1.84615384615

This is equaled the same now we need to divide the money so 30.48 divided  by 12.74 = 2.39246467818 and now you got 2.39 so the answer is the second one

Someone plz help me
aniked [119]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

3 :  15 :: 60 : x

Product of extremes  = Product of  means

3 * x = 15 * 60

    x = \frac{15 * 60}{3}\\\\x = 5*60\\\\x = 300

Or Do in this way

\frac{3}{15}=\frac{60}{x}\\\\

\frac{3*20}{15*20}=\frac{60}{x}

x = 15* 20 = 300
