<h3>Answer:</h3>

$3700

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount invested at 9%. Then 5100-x is the amount invested at 8%. The total interest earned is ...

... 0.08(5100-x) +0.09x = 445

... 0.01x = 445 -0.08·5100 . . . . . collect terms, subtract .08·5100

... x = (445 -408)/0.01 = 3700 . . . divide by the coefficient of x.

The student invested $3700 at 9%.

The graph shows two lines, A and B.
miss Akunina [59]
Part A: As we have learned when given a pair of equations, we must always find a Point of Intersection....or, in other words...the solution of the lines given to us. As we know there can be one solution, in this case we view the graph; see where they intersect, and realize that the solution to these lines (Point of Intersection) is at (4,4).

Thus, your answer.

If you place a 24-foot ladder against the top of a 22-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bot
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 22² = 24²

Subtract 22² from both sides

a² = 24² - 22²

a² = 576 - 484

a² = 92

Take the square root of both sides

a = 9.591663046625438

Rounded

a = 9.6 ft
