Answer:

Principal borrowed is $2,200

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the amount of principal Elsa borrowed to buy a car, we will simply use the simple interest formula;

Simple Interest =  PRT  /  100

Where p = principal

R is the rate

T is the time (in years)

In this case, principal is what we are looking for,  time= 2 years and simple interest = $264

So we will now plug in our variables

Simple Interest =  PRT  /  100

$264      =    P × 6 × 2   /  100

$264    =   12P   / 100

Cross multiply

12P   = $264  ×   100

12P   =  26400

Divide both-side of the equation  by 12

12P/12  =26400/12

(On the left-hand side of the equation 12 will cancel out 12 leaving us with just P and on the right-hand side of the equation 126400 will be divided by 12)

P =   $2,200

Therefore, the principal she borrowed is $2,200

P=I÷rt
P principle borrowed ?
I interest paid 264
R interest rate 0.06
T time 2 years

P=264÷(0.06×2)
P=2,200

Hope it helps :-)

What is the value of x?
adelina 88 [10]

This is an equilateral triangle, which is a triangle that has 3 congruent/equal sides and 3 congruent angles.


To find "x", you can set the sides equal to each other because they are suppose to be the same length (you can just do two sides because all of the sides are the same)

[Side AB = Side BC]

4x - 10 = 3x + 2     Subtract 3x on both sides

x - 10 = 2         Add 10 on both sides

x = 12


[proof]

Side AB:

4x - 10    Plug in 12 for x

4(12) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38


Side BC:

3x + 2     Plug in 12 for x

3(12) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38


Side AC:

5x - 22      Plug in 12 for x

5(12) - 22 = 60 - 22 = 38




This is also an equilateral triangle (the tick marks show that the sides are the same)

A triangle is 180°. So the three angles add up to 180°.

Since this is an equilateral triangle, all the angles should be the same.

Each angle is 60°

[60° + 60° + 60° = 180°   or you could have divided 180 by 3 = 60]


Now that you know each angle is 60°, you can do:

(2x - 4)° = 60°

2x - 4 = 60    Add 4 on both sides

2x = 64    Divide 2 on both sides

x = 32

Someone please help me with this geometry question
marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 12 + (-8x + 48) = 180

-15x + 60 = 180

-15x = 120

x = -8

m<BDC= -7(-8)+ 12 = 56 + 12 = 68

m<CBA = -8(-8)+48 = 64+48 = 112
