Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{x=\frac{1}{3}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine Similar Elements: $\bold{-12x+39x-18x=9x}$

$\bold{14+9x=256-60x-657x}$

Combine Similar Elements: $\bold{-60x-657x=-717x}$

$\bold{14+9x=256-717x}$

Subtract 14 From Both Sides

$\bold{14+9x-14=256-717x-14}$

Simplify

$\bold{9x=-717x+242}$

Add $\bold{717x}$ To Both Sides

$\bold{9x+717x=-717x+242+717x}$

Simplify

$\bold{726x=242}$

Divide Both Sides By $\bold{726}$

$\bold{\frac{726x}{726}=\frac{242}{726}}$

Simplify

$\bold{x=\frac{1}{3}}$

Emma receives $7750 and invests it in an account that earns 4% interest copounded continuously, What is the total amount of her

QveST [7]

So your present value is 7750. this is what you have now. they give you the intesrest rate which is 4% and how the amount of year is 5.

recall the formula for a compounded continously is
P×e^(r×t)

the answer is 7750×e^(.04×5)

Solve the problem by multiplying first. A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jean

ella [17]

We will solve this by suing simultaneous equations,

⇒ 5s + 3j = 87

4s + 2j = 64

Multiply the first equation with 4 and the second one with 5, this is to get one of the values equal so that we can cancel them out,

⇒ (5s + 3j = 87) × 4

(4s + 2j = 64) × 5

∴ ⇒ 20s + 12j = 348

20s + 10j = 320

Subtract both the equations. This is how your result (after subtraction) should look like,

⇒ 2j = 28

∴ ⇒ j = $14

Now replace the value of 'j' in one of the original equations,

⇒ 4s + 2(14) = 64

⇒ 4s + 28 = 64

⇒ 4s = 64 - 28

⇒ 4s = 36

∴ ⇒ s = $9

Therefore, one pair of jeans cost $14 and a shirt costs $9

What is the vertex of y = x2 + 2x +2 O (1,-1) O (2,-2) O (1, 2) 0 (-1, 1)

fredd [130]

Answer:

vertex = (- 1, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parabola in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

y = x² + 2x + 2 ← is in standard form

with a = 1 and b = 2 , then

x = - $\frac{2}{2}$ = - 1

substitute x = - 1 into the equation for y- coordinate of vertex

y = (- 1)² + 2(- 1) + 2 = 1 - 2 + 2 = 1

vertex = (- 1, 1 )
