X + y = 120000
0.15x - 0.10y = 5500

Multiply both sides of bottom by 100 to remove decimals

x + y = 120000
15x - 10y = 550000

Multiply both sides of top by 10

10x + 10y = 1200000
15x - 10y = 550000

Add the two

25x = 1750000
x = 70000
He paid $70,000 for the property that made a profit, and paid $50,000 for the property that lost value.

If a rectangular. Prism. Has 5cm. 10cm on one side and 4cm on the. Other. What is the volume of the rectangle?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: 200\ cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the rectangular prism is

l=5\ cm\\w=10\ cm\\h=4\ cm

The volume of the prism is given by V=l\times w\times h

\Rightarrow V=5\times 10\times 4\\\Rightarrow V=200\ cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the prism is 200\ cm^3.

A triangle is formed from the points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8). Find the equation of the following lines:
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Part A) y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}  

Part B)  y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}

Part C) y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8)

Part A) Find the equation of the  median from N

we Know that

The median passes through point N to midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})

M(-1,-1)

step 2

Find the slope of the segment NM

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

N(3, 2) and M(-1,-1)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-1-2}{-1-3}

m=\frac{-3}{-4}

m=\frac{3}{4}

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{3}{4}

point\ N(3, 2)

substitute

y-2=\frac{3}{4}(x-3)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y-2=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}+2

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}  

Part B) Find the equation of the  right bisector of LP

we Know that

The right bisector is perpendicular to LP and passes through midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})

M(-1,-1)

step 2

Find the slope of the segment LP

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}

m=\frac{-14}{4}

m=-\frac{14}{4}

m=-\frac{7}{2}

step 3

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{7}{2}

so

m_2=\frac{2}{7}

step 4

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{2}{7}

point\ M(-1,-1) ----> midpoint LP

substitute

y+1=\frac{2}{7}(x+1)

step 5

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y+1=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}

y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}-1

y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}

Part C) Find the equation of the altitude from N

we Know that

The altitude is perpendicular to LP and passes through point N

step 1

Find the slope of the segment LP

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}

m=\frac{-14}{4}

m=-\frac{14}{4}

m=-\frac{7}{2}

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{7}{2}

so

m_2=\frac{2}{7}

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{2}{7}

point\ N(3,2)

substitute

y-2=\frac{2}{7}(x-3)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y-2=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}

y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}+2

y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}
