Answer:

y = 10°

x = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral with the opposite sides parallel to each other. Opposite sides are equal in length. Opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram.

For the figure to be a parallelograms, since opposite angle are equal

12y + 8 = 2x

2x - 12y = 8 ...................(i)

2x + 5y + 2 = 180(supplementary angle)

2x + 5y = 178..............(ii)

combine the equation

2x - 12y = 8 ...................(i)

2x + 5y = 178..............(ii)

make x subject of the formula in equation (i)

2x - 12y = 8 ...................(i)

2x = 8 + 12y

x = 4 + 6y

put the value of x in equation (ii)

2x + 5y = 178..............(ii)

2(4 + 6y) + 5y = 178

8 + 12y + 5y = 178

8 + 17y = 178

17y = 170

divide both sides by 17

y = 170/17

y = 10°

Put the value of y in equation (i)

2x - 12y = 8 ...................(i)

2x - 12(10) = 8

2x - 120 = 8

2x = 128

x = 128/2

x = 64°

12.6% of<br>RI 149 390bn

galina1969 [7]

Answer: RI 18,823.14

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that we want to find the 12.6% of Rl 149,390

First, we assume that Rl 149,390 is the 100%

Then we can write an equation like:

Rl 149,390 = 100%

Then if the amount X is the 12.6%, we also have the equation:

X = 12.6%

Then we have the two equations:

X = 12.6%

Rl 149,390 = 100%

If we take the quotient between these two equations we get:

(X/Rl 149,390) = (12.6%/100%)

Solving this for X we get:

X = (12.6%/100%)*(Rl 149,390) = RI 18,823.14

A construction company purchased some equipment costing $300,000. The value of the equipment depreciates

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$11.9\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the depreciated value is equal to

$V=P(1-r)^{x}$

where

V is the depreciated value

P is the original value

r is the rate of depreciation in decimal

x is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$P=\$300,000\\r=14\%=14/100=0.14\\V=\$50,000$

substitute the values and solve for x

$50,000=300,000(1-0.14)^{x}$

$(50,000/300,000)=(0.86)^{x}$

$(5/30)=(0.86)^{x}$

Apply log both sides

$log(5/30)=(x)log(0.86)$

$x=log(5/30)/log(0.86)$

$x=11.9\ years$
