The answer to this question is A, the graphs y intercept is 5
well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.
what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then

so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?
We can round 5.65 up to 6 and 3.4 down to 3.
3 * 6 = 18
now let's see how close our estimate is to the real answer
5.65 * 3.4 = 19.21
Our answer was pretty close to the real answer!
Hope I helped!

The 3 sides of the triangle are PR = 8.4, OR = 5.4 and OP = 3.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Given
PR = 3x - 0.6
OP = x + 0.1
OR = x + 2.4
Also the 2 sides OR and PR are said to be equal.
So we have OR = PR
=> 3x - 0.6 = x + 2.4
=> x = 2.4 + 0.6 => x = 3
Step 2 :
we have ,
PR = 3x - 0.6 = 3(3) - 0.6 = 8.4
OR = x + 2.4 = 3 + 2.4 = 5.4
OP = x + 0.1 = 3 + 0.1 = 3.1
Step 3 :
Answer :
The 3 sides of the triangle are
PR = 8.4
OR = 5.4
OP = 3.1
