Answer:
$17
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find 20 percent. so find 10 percent or divide by ten then multiply that by two
-2m - 5m = -7m
-7m - 8 = 3 -7 + m
3 - 7 = -4
-7m - 8 = m - 4
-7m - 8 + 8 = m - 4 + 8
-7m = m + 4
-7m - m = m + 4 - m
-8m = 4
-8m/-8 = 4/ -8
FINAL = m= -1/2 = -0.5
First lets figure out 2 and 1/4 as a decimal
2 and 1/4 = 2.25
So now we subtract
5 - 2.25 = 2.75
She is 2.75 miles away from her starting point
:P
We have a right triangle with
a = one leg = 28
b = other leg = 21
c = hypotenuse = 5x
use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2 = c^2) and solve for x
a^2+b^2 = c^2
28^2+21^2 = (5x)^2
784+441 = 25x^2
1225 = 25x^2
25x^2 = 1225
(25x^2)/25 = 1225/25
x^2 = 49
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(49)
|x| = 7
x = 7 or x = -7
Since the hypotenuse has length 5x meters, this means
5x = 5*7 = 35
or
5x = 5(-7) = -35
Toss out the negative length as it makes no sense.
The only value of x is x = 7
Therefore the final answer is x = 7
