Answer:

The lines' lengths are: 8 inches and 5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calling "a" the length of the line, a line that is 3 inches shorter can be written in math terms as:

a - 3

If the combined (added) length of these two lines is 15 inches, then we can write:

a + (a - 3) = 15

a + a - 3 = 15

2 a - 3 = 15

2 a = 15 + 3

2 a = 18

then

a = 18/2 = 9

Therefore, the length of one line is 8 inches, and the length of the shorter line is:

8 - 3 = 5 inches

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The new account balance is <u>$812</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Larry Thomas's charge account statement shows an unpaid balance of $800.

The monthly finance charge is 1.5% of the unpaid balance.

Now, to find the new account balance.

Unpaid balance = $800.

Monthly finance charge of the unpaid balance = 1.5%.

Now, to get the new account balance:

$800 + 1.5% of $800.

=800+\frac{1.5}{100} \times 800.

=800+0.015\times 800.

=800+12.

=\$812.

Therefore, the new account balance is $812.
