Given:
One time payment, <em>p </em>= $300
Payment per month, <em>q = </em>$65
Number of months paid, <em>n</em> = 5
The objectiv is to find the amount she paid in 5 months.
Let <em>x </em>be the amount she paid in 5 months. Then the the formula is,

Let's substitute the values.

Hence, total amount paid in 5 months is $625.
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Δ NML and Δ PST are similar right triangles, we can set up the following proportional statement to establish their relationship:


Cross multiply:
8(x + 2) = 10 (x - 1)
8x + 16 = 10x - 10
Subtract 8x from both sides:
8x - 8x + 16 = 10x - 8x - 10
16 = 2x - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
16 + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10
26 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:

13 = x
Verify whether x = 13 is the correct value:




This shows the proportional relationship between
, and that ΔNML and ΔPST are indeed similar right triangles.
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 13.
Divide by 5, answer is 1/7
Answer:
x^2 + x - 72 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
x(x + 1) = 72 should be re-written in the standard form of a quadratic:
x^2 + x - 72 = 0. Same as the first answer choice.
