Brother's weight * 5/8 = 110
Brother's weight * 5/8÷5/8 = 110÷ 5/8
Brother's weight = 176

110 divided by 5 = 22

22 x 8 = 176

176 lbs is the brother's weight

Find the sum. Express your answer in simplest form. 9a^2-5/b^2+2 + -2a^2+4/b^2+2

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{9a^{2}-5}{b^{2}+2}+\frac{-2a^{2}+4}{b^{2}+2}=\frac{9a^{2}-5-2a^{2}+4}{b^{2}+2}\\\\=\frac{9a^{2}-2a^{2}-5+2}{b^{2}+2}\\\\=\frac{7a^{2}-3}{b^{2}+2}$

Item 6 A savings account earns 5% simple interest per year. The principal is $1200. What is the balance after 4 years?

lions [1.4K]

The formula for simple interest is

I=PRT

here P=$1200

R=5% or 0.05

T=4 years

plugging in the formula we get

I=1200*0.05*4=240

Balance after four years =1200+240=$1440

What is the value of m in the equation 1/2 m - 3/4 n = 16, when n = 8 ? 20 32 44 48

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. The value of m is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{1}{2}m-\frac{3}{4}n=16$

Substitute n=8 in the above expression.

$\frac{1}{2}m-\frac{3}{4}(8)=16$

$\frac{1}{2}m-3\times 2=16$

$\frac{1}{2}m-6=16$

$\frac{1}{2}m=16+6$

$\frac{1}{2}m=22$

$m=44$

Therefore the value of m is 44 and option 3 is correct.

Please help !

yuradex [85]

Answer:

x = 5.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

One angle = 26°

Middle angle = 90°

Third angle = 180-(90+26) = 64°

Height, H = 12

We need to find the value of x. Using trigonometry to find it such that,

$\tan64=\dfrac{12}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{12}{\tan(64)}\\\\x=5.85$

So, the value of x is equal to 5.85.
