Oh, I adore magic squares!

We need all rows to be equivalent, so try adding up the bottom (complete) row to get 7x-4x+3x=10x-4x=6x.

To solve the middle number, we have -2x+X+6x=6x, so X=2x.
To solve the top number, we have X+8x-3x=6x, so X=6x-8x+3x=x

Now check first column, 
x-2x+7x=6x   ok
Second column
8x+2x-4x=6x  ok
Top-right to bottom-right diagonal: x+2x+3x=6x, ok   
Bottom-left to top right diagonal: 7x+2x-3x=6x

So everything is ok!

Breann solved the system of equations below. What mistake did she make in her work? 2x + y = 5 x − 2y = 10 y = 5 − 2x x − 2(5 −
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

No mistake

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 5

x - 2y = 10

y = 5 - 2x

x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10

x - 10 + 4x = 10

5x - 10 = 10

5x = 20

x = 4

2(4) + y = 5

y =  -3

She made no mistake

You can check by plugging in x = 4 and y = -3 into the original equations . They fit exactly.

Si se invierten $ 500 a una tasa de 5% anual. Hallar el valor futuro a 3 años si el interés es compuesto trimestralmente.
9966 [12]

Answer:

the future value is $5800.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The invested amount i.e present value is $500

The rate is 5 % per year so quarterly rate is 5% ÷ 4 = 1.25%

The time period is 3 per year so for quartely it is 3 × 4 = 12

We need to find out the future value

So as we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^time

= $500 × (1 + 0.0125)^12

= $580.38

hence, the future value is $5800.38

Paraphin [41]
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow

_____
One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.
