Answer:

$64222.22

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the original value as x, we can write:

1445 = x * (0.15)²   (Note: We write 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 and not 0.85 because 0.85 is the decay factor)

1445 = 0.0225x

x ≈ 64222.22

Answer:

<h2>$ 2000</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original value be $ X

Decay factor = 0.85

Time = 2 years

Reduced value = $ 1445

Now,

Reduced value = original value * (decay){}^{number \: of \: years}

Plug the values

1445  = x  \times  {(0.85)}^{2}

Evaluate the power

1445 = x \times 0.7225

x =  \frac{1445}{0.7225}

Calculate

x = 2000

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times
almond37 [142]

Answer:

First angle = 30°

Second angle = 60°

Third angle = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 180

y + z = 5x

z = y + 30

then:

y + (y+30) = 5x

2y + 30 = 5x

x = (2y+30)/5

then:

x + y + z = 180

{(2y+30)/5} + y + y+30 = 180

{(2y+30)/5} + 2y + 30 = 180

{(2y+30)/5} = 180 - 30 - 2y

{(2y+30)/5} = 150 - 2y

2y+30 = 5(150-2y)

2y+30 = 5*150 + 5*-2y

2y+30 = 750 - 10y

2y + 10y = 750 - 30

12y = 720

y = 720/12

y = 60°

x = (2y+30)/5

x = (2*60 + 30)/5

x = (120+30)/5

x = 150/5

x = 30°

z = y + 30

z = 60 + 30

z = 90°

Check:

x + y + z = 180°

30° + 60° + 90° = 180°
