Answer:

<h2>C.  $1,689.00</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount spent by Tim be x and the amount spent by Nikko be y

If Tim spent $55 more than 2/3 of the amount that Nikko spent for his computer, then amount spent by Tim will be x = 55+2/3 y

Since the total amount that Tim and Nikko spent for their computers was $2,870 then;

x+y = $2,870

Substituting  x = 55+2/3y into the equation above, we will have;

55+2y/3 + y = 2,870

(165 + 2y)/3 + y = 2,870

(165 + 2y+3y)/3 = 2,870

cross multiply

165 + 2y+3y =  3*2870

165+5y = 8610

5y = 8610-165

5y = 8445

y = 8445/5

y = 1689

<em>Hence Nikko spent  a sum of $1,689.00 on his computer.</em>

−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7<br> What is the 2 answers for this question
loris [4]
The two possible answers are w = 3 and w = -1/5

These answers can be obtained through solving to the absolute value symbols. 

<span>−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7 ---> subtract 9 from both sides
</span><span>−2∣5w−7∣= -16 ---> divide both sides by -2
</span>∣5w−7∣= 8

Now, because of the absolute value symbols, set the inside equal to 8 and -8 for the two answers. 

5w - 7 = 8
5w = 15
w = 3

AND

5w - 7 = -8
5w = -1
w = -1/5

Assoli18 [71]
<h3>Answer:  53%</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The question asks "What percent of females participate in extracurricular activities?" This means we only focus on the second column. There are 36 women, and of this total, 19 are in extracurricular activities.

Dividing the two values leads to approximately 19/36 = 0.52777 which rounds to 0.53

Then we move the decimal to the right two spots to get 53%

Roughly 53% of the female students participate in extracurricular activities.

Length = 4 + x Width = x Height = x2 + 1 What is the base area of Box 3?
Simora [160]

Answer:

Base area of box = x^2 +4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 4+x

Width = x

Height = x^2 + 1

Base area of a rectangular box is a rectangle

Area of a rectangle (base area)= length times width

Length = 4+x

Width = x

Base area = (4+x) \cdot x

Multiply x inside the parenthesis

Base area of box = 4x +x^2
