Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x + 1 = -14

Subtract 1 from both sides:

3 x + (1 - 1) = -14 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

3 x = -14 - 1

-14 - 1 = -15:

3 x = -15

Divide both sides of 3 x = -15 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-15)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-15)/3

The gcd of -15 and 3 is 3, so (-15)/3 = (3 (-5))/(3×1) = 3/3×-5 = -5:

A man invest 5,200,part at 4% and the balance at 3%. If his total income for the two investments is $194,how much money did he i
Fed [463]

Let the amount invested at 4% be = x

Let the amount invested at 3% be = y

Given is:

x+y=5200 or x=5200-y  .... (1)

As, total income for the two investments is $194, so equation is:

0.04x+0.03y=194   ....(2)

Putting value of x from (1) in (2)

0.04(5200-y)+0.03y=194

208-0.04y+0.03y=194

0.01y=14

y=1400

And x=5200-y

x=5200-1400=3800

Hence, money invested at 4% is $3800 and money invested at 3% is $1400

The following figure is a rhombus. Find the value of m. Then, use that value to find the measure of VW
maxonik [38]

Answer:

  • m=8
  • The length of VW = 36 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a rhombus is a quadrilateral with four sides. All four sides have the same length.

From the diagram, it is clear that

  • The length of VW= 6m-12
  • The length of WX = 4m+4

As all the four sides of the rhombus have equal length.

So we can observe

VW=WX

6m-12 = 4m+4

Add 12 to both sides

6m-12+12=4m+4+12

6m=4m+16

2m=16

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2m}{2}=\frac{16}{2}

m=8

so

The length of VW= 6m-12

                             = 6(8)-12  ∵ m=8

                              = 48-12

                              = 36

Thereofore, the length of VW = 36 units.
