Answer:

18.5 ft (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the circle passes through the center of the circle and divides the width of the circle into two equal parts.

We complete the circle and apply the <u>Law of Intersecting Chords.</u>

In the diagram, by this law:

AB X BC =DB X BE

7*x=14.5X14.5

x=14.5X14.5÷7

x=30.04

Therefore:

Length of the Diameter= 7+30.04 ft=37.04 ft

Radius =37.04/2= 18.5 ft

Use properties to rewrite the given equation. Which equations have the same solution as 3/5x +2/3 + x = 1/2– 1/5x? Check all tha

vodomira [7]

we have

$\frac{3}{5}x+ \frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

Combine like terms in both sides

$(\frac{3}{5}x+ x)+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

we know that

$(\frac{3}{5}x+ x)=(\frac{3}{5}x+ \frac{5}{5}x)=\frac{8}{5}x$

substitute in the expression above

$\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$ -----> equation A

Multiply equation A by $5*3*2=30$ both sides

$30*(\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3})=30*(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x)$

$48x+20=15-6x$ ---------> equation B

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$48x+6x=15-20$

$54x=-5$ ---------> equation C

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{5}{54} =-0.09$

We are going to proceed to verify each case to determine the solution.

<u>Case a)</u> $\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

the case a) is equal to the equation A

so

the case a) have the same solution that the given equation

<u>Case b)</u> $18x+20+30x=15-6x$

Combine like terms in left side

$(18x+30x)+20=15-6x$

$(48x)+20=15-6x$

the case b) is equal to the equation B

so

the case b) have the same solution that the given equation

<u>Case c)</u> $18x+20+x=15-6x$

Combine like terms in left side

$(18x+x)+20=15-6x$

$(19x)+20=15-6x$

$19x+6x=15-20\\25x=-5\\x=-0.20$

$-0.20\neq -0.09$

therefore

the case c) not have the same solution that the given equation

<u>Case d)</u> $24x+30x=-5$

Combine like terms in left side

$54x=-5$

the case d) is equal to the equation C

so

the case d) have the same solution that the given equation

<u>Case e)</u> $12x+30x=-5$

Combine like terms in left side

$42x=-5$

$x=-5/42=-0.12$

$-0.12\neq -0.09$

therefore

the case e) not have the same solution that the given equation

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

case a) $\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

case b) $18x+20+30x=15-6x$

case d) $24x+30x=-5$

Angie mows lawns in her neighborhood to make money. She charges $25 per lawn and buys a new mower for $200. If x is the number o

natali 33 [55]

Answer: Angie's profit equation is 25x−200=p

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of lawns that Angie mows in her neighborhood.

Let p represent the profit made by mowing x lawns.

Profit = Revenue - cost

She charges $25 per lawn. This means that the amount charged for x lawns = 25×x = 25x

So her revenue is 25x

She buys a new mower for $200. Thus, the cost is $200. Therefore, Angie's profit,p is expressed as

p = 25x - 200

mina [271]

Answer:

A) $1470

B) 5,88%

Step-by-step explanation:

B) Diana will end up with 100% -16% = 84% of the interest she earns, so her effective interest rate is ...

... 7% × 84% = 5.88%

A) Diana's investment earns ...

... 0.0588 × $25000 = $1470
