A dust bunny gathers dust at a rate of 11% per week. The dust bunny, Alfred, originally weighed 0.7 ounces. Write an equation th
1 answer:
Alfred is 0.7 ounces at the beginning.
After one week had passed, he is 11% larger. 0.7 * 1.11
After two weeks, the dust bunny's size is once again 11% larger.
0.7 * 1.11 * 1.11, or 0.7 * 1.11².
From here you can see that each week the dust bunny's size multiplies by 1.11. (1 whole plus 11 percent) How many times it is multiplied can be expressed with exponents.

Given:
Consider the below figure attached with this question.
∠EFH = (5x + 1)°, ∠HFG = 62°, and ∠EFG = (18x + 11)°
To find:
The measure of ∠EFH.
Solution:
From the figure it is clear that ∠EFG is divide in two parts ∠EFH and ∠HFG. So,
Isolate variable terms.
Divide both sides by 13.
The value of x is 4.
Therefore, the measure of ∠EFH is 21°.
