Let x+500 represent the first year

For the $500 more than the previous year for 4 years, we would write:
(x+500)+(x+500+500+500)+(x+500+500+500+500)= 17,800

By adding the equation above, 4x+5000=17,800

4x=17,800-5000
4x=12,800
x=3,200

So the amount the man was paid in the first year is 3,200+500=3,700

15,800 because 500x the 4 years=2,000,17,800-2,000=15,800.so the answer is 15,800.

Th sum of three numbers is 64. The second number is 3 more than the first. The third number is
ladessa [460]
<span>Three numbers can be defined as x, y, and z.
x + y + z = 64
y = x+3
z = 2x - 11
.
substitute for y and z
x + (x+3) + (2x-11) = 64
4x -8 = 64
4x = 72

x = 18
.
y = x+3 = 21
z = 2x -11 = 2(18) -11 = 36-11 = 25
.
x + y + z = 18 + 21 + 25 = 64
Correct.
.
Answer: The three numbers are 18, 21, and 25.</span>

Use the diagram to determine which statement is true
hichkok12 [17]
A. Area of ABCD - Area of DGA = Area of DEFG
s^2 - 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 - 1/2(4)(3) = (3)^2
25 - 1/2(12) = 9
25 - 24 = 9
1 not equal to 9

B. Area of ABCD - Area of GHIA = Area of DGA
s^2 - s^2 = 1/2bh
(5)^2 - (4)^2 = 1/2(4)(3)
25 - 16 = 1/2(12)
9 not equal to 6

C. Area of ABCD + Area of DGA = Area of GHIA
s^2 + 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 + 1/2(4)(3) = (4)^2
25 + 1/2(12) = 16
25 + 6 = 16
31 not equal to 16

D. Area of DEFG + Area of GHIA = Area of ABCD
s^2 + s^2 = s^2
(3)^2 + (4)^2 = (5)^2
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25

The answer is D.
