Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$

Ed wants to borrow $20,000 from a bank to open a small gym. Three banks charge different interest rates. To help decide the best

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

First bank = $6792

City bank = $6803

Star bank = $6817

Step-by-step explanation:

The lists of banks and their annual interests rates are attached.

For first bank, since the interest is 7.5%, The total interest = 7.5% of $20000 = 0.075 × $20000 = $1500

For city bank, since the interest is 8.2%, The total interest = 8.2% of $20000 = 0.082 × $20000 = $1640

For Star bank, since the interest is 9%, The total interest = 9% of $20000 = 0.09 × $20000 = $1800

The loan plus interest for the banks annually are:

First bank = $20000 + $1500 = $21500

City bank = $20000 + $1640 = $21640

Star bank = $20000 + $1900 = $21900

The monthly payments for the banks are:

First bank = $21500 / 12 months = $1792

City bank = $21640 / 12 months = $1803

Star bank = $21800 / 12 months = $1817

Since The cost to run the gym each month is $5,000. Ed's total monthly expenses for each loan option = monthly payments + cost for each month. It is calculated as:

First bank = $5000 + $1792 = $6792

City bank = $5000 + $1803 = $6803

Star bank = $5000 + $1817 = $6817

Did I do this right?

exis [7]

No. For instance, let’s look at 1)
It’s asking you to find what x is when x/10 = 6

So, consider the equation x/10=6
Multiply both sides by 10, and your answer is 60.
Now do this for each one.

I need some help:

The unit rate is another way of saying speed, so we divide the distance over the time. We can pick on any row

If we pick row 1, then, speed = distance/time = 90/2 = 45

Row 2 says the same thing: 135/3 = 45

So does row 3: 225/5 = 45

and so on

Because the speed is 45 mph, the unit rate is 45 miles in one hour. The term "unit" implies how much distance can be covered in one unit of time, in this case 1 hour.

You have the correct answer. Nice work.
