Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used. He has another gift card for $145 that loses

$3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used. Write an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal. Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Answer:

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used.

Therefore the equation =

$165 -$4 × x

= 165 - 4x.......... Equation 1

He has another gift card for $145 that loses $3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used.

$145 -$3.50 × x

= 145 - 3.50x........... Equation 2

Hence, an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is obtained by equating Equation 1 and Equation 2 together

So, we have

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

We simplify further:

165 - 145 = -3.50 + 4.0x

20 = 0.5x

x = 20/0.5

x = 40

Therefore, number of each 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is 40

The area of the shaded segment is 100cm^2. Calculate the value of r.
Reil [10]
Hello, 

The formula for finding the area of a circular region is: A=  \frac{ \alpha *r^{2} }{2}

then:
A_{1} = \frac{80*r^{2} }{2}

With the two radius it is formed an isosceles triangle, so, we must obtain its area, but first we obtain the height and the base.

cos(40)= \frac{h}{r}  \\  \\ h= r*cos(40)\\ \\ \\ sen(40)= \frac{b}{r} \\ \\ b=r*sen(40)

Now we can find its area:
A_{2}=2* \frac{b*h}{2}  \\  \\ A_{2}= [r*sen(40)][r*cos(40)]\\  \\A_{2}= r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40)

The subtraction of the two areas is 100cm^2, then:

A_{1}-A_{2}=100cm^{2} \\ (40*r^{2})-(r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40) )=100cm^{2} \\ 39.51r^{2}=100cm^{2} \\ r^{2}=2.53cm^{2} \\ r=1.59cm

Answer: r= 1.59cm

Find the area of the unshaded part of the figure
Tcecarenko [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

  unshaded area = 25(4 -π) in^2 ≈ 21.46 in^2

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Each of the shaded circles has a diameter of (20 in)/4 = 5 in, which also is the width of the enclosing rectangle. Then each circle has a radius of 2.5 in, and an area of ...

  A = πr^2 = π(2.5 in)^2 = 6.25π in^2

The four circles together have an area of ...

  4A = 4·(6.25π in^2) = 25π in^2

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW = (20 in)(5 in) = 100 in^2

Since the circles are shaded, the unshaded area is the difference between the rectangle area and the total area of the four circles:

  unshaded area = (100 in^2) - (25π in^2) = 25(4 -π) in^2 ≈ 21.46 in^2
