Answer:

  • 65 -3x = 55 -2.5x
  • 20 periods
  • $5

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the first card starts at $65 and decreases by $3 for each of x periods. Its value is ...

  65 -3x

The value of the second card starts at $55 and decreases by $2.50 for each of x periods. Its value is ...

  55 -2.5x

The equation that can be used to find x that makes the values equal is ...

  65 -3x = 55 -2.5x

__

The solution can be found by adding 3x-55 to both sides of this equation.

  10 = 0.5x

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

  20 = x

After 20 30-day periods. the cards will have the same value.

__

The value after 20 periods is ...

  65 -3×20 = 65 -60 = 5

Both cards will have a value of $5 when they have the same value.

The sides of a triangle are 1, x, and x2. what are possible values of x?
Whitepunk [10]
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².

The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.

Consider 3 cases
Case (a):  x < 1,
      Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
      We require that x² + x ≥ 1
      Solve x² + x - 1 = 
      x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
      Reject the negative length.
     Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.

Case (b): x = 1
   This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
    The sides are 1, 1 and 1.

Case (c): x>1
  In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
  We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
  Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
  x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
  Reject the negative answr.
 The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.

Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.

What is m∠C?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
suter [353]
The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees

3x + 2x + x = 180
6x = 180
x = 180/6
x = 30

< C = 2x.......2(30) = 60 <===
< B = 3x.......3(30) = 90
< A = x................. = 30
