Answer:

  12.3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the number of months (m) such that ...

   1 - 17% = (1 -1.5%)^m

Taking logarithms:

  log(0.83) = m·log(0.985)

  m = log(0.83)/log(0.985) ≈ 12.3 . . . . months

In the diagram, GB = 2x + 3..<br><br><br><br> What is GB?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

GB = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

DC, EB and FA are the medians of the triangle.

The point G where the medians intersect is the centroid.

On each median the distance from the vertex to the centroid is twice as long as the distance from the centroid to the midpoint, hence

FG = 2GA, that is

5x = 2(x + 9)

5x = 2x + 18 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 6

Hence

GB = 2x + 3 = (2 × 6) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as sydney. samaria has 36 pieces of candy. how many does sydney have
lesya [120]

For this case we have:

x: Number of candies that Sydney has

The equation to find the amount of Sydney sweets is given by:

3x + 6 = 36

We want to clear x:

3x = 36-63x = 30

x = \frac{30}{3}

x = 10

So, Sydney has 10 candies

Answer:

Sydney has 10 candies
