in 1st figure
2:1=(x+2):2
2/1=(x+2)/2
4=x+2
x=2.
Similarly in the 2nd figure
8:5=(8+3):(5+x)
8/5 = 11/ (5+x)
8(5+x) =55
40+8x=55
8x=15
x=15/8
x=1.875
I am also confused, It is so hard
Answer:
$106,714.29
$71,142.86
$71,142.86
Step-by-step explanation:
There's a total of 7 pieces that they invested (3 + 2 + 2 = 7) so you can do 249,000 / 7 to find what each piece was worth.
249000/7 = about 35571.43
(you always have to round money to 2 decimal places)
Then the amount each brother spent would be:
3 * 35571.43 = 106714.29
2 * 35571.43 = 71142.86
2 * 35571.43 = 71142.86
(3,3.87),(6,7.74)
slope = (7.74 - 3.87) / (6 - 3) = 3.87 / 3 = 1.29
An additional year is associated with an additional 1.29 feet of growth
