Givens

AB + BC = AC

AB = 2(x + 1)

BC = 3x + 1

AC = 4(x + 2)

Substitute and Solve

AB + BC = AC

2(x + 1) + 3x + 1 = 4(x + 2)     Remove the brackets on the left

2x + 2 + 3x + 1 = 4(x + 2)      Collect the like terms on the left

5x + 3  = 4(x + 2)                  Remove the brackets on the right.

5x + 3 = 4x + 8                     Subtract 4x from both sides.

5x - 4x + 3 = 8            

x + 3 = 8                               Subtract 3 from both sides

x =8 - 3

x = 5

Answers

AB=2(5 + 1) = 2 * 6 = 12

BC = 3x + 1 = 3*5 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

AC = 4(5 + 2) = 4*7 = 28

What is the equation for the graph shown below?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Since we don't know the y-value of the vertex, let's do this an easy way: plugging in.

Let's use the y intercept since that would be the easiest. Since x=0, the terms with x cancel, and you will get a leading result of -5

A) results in 2, so eliminate it

B) results in -2, so eliminate it

C) results in 5, so eliminate it

D) results in -5, so keep it

Since D was the only one that worked, that is our correct answer.

Scott Harris can invest $7,000 in a 1-year CD that earns interest at an annual rate of 4 percent compounded monthly. The amount
Tom [10]

Answer:

option A  is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of interest earned for compounded monthly  for $1 = 1.040742

Amount of interest earned for compounded quarterly for $1= 1.040604

Difference for $1  =   1.040742 - 1.40604

                 =0.000138

Difference for $7000 = $7000x0.000138

                                    = 0.966

                                      or $0.96
