Because the 0.96 is less than 1, it means that the house loses value over the years.

Convert 0.96 to a percent: 0.96 = 96%

100% - 96% = 4%

The house loses 4% of it's value every year.

5a+5b=25 and -5a+5b=35

Alex_Xolod [135]

add the two equations together

5a+5b=25

-5a+5b=35

------------------

0 + 10b =60

divide by 10

b=6

5a + 5b = 25

5a +5(6) = 25

5a +30 =25

subtract 30 from each side

5a =-5

divide by 5

a = -1

Answer (-1,6)

or a=-1 b=6

65yards and 2feet equall hiw many feet

Black_prince [1.1K]

We know that 1 yard equals 3 feet, therefore, we have:
65(3) + 2
= 195 + 2
= 197
therefore, 65 yards and 2 feet equals 197 feet

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7 12 ft how

leva [86]

To find the total length of the two copper pipes, we need to add them together.

2 5/12 + 3 7/12 = 5 12/12

Since 12/12 = 1 or a whole, we can simplify this further.

5 12/12 = 6

Hope this helps!

Help for geometry asap

Llana [10]

Given:

Four lines are marked proportion, the length of TW can be determined by

$TW=a+4+b$

Value of a:

Let us set the proportion for the given lines.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{a}{7}=\frac{4}{5}$

$5a=28$

$a=5.6$

Thus, the value of a is 5.6

Value of b:

Let us set the proportion for the given lines.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{b}{5}$

$20=5b$

$4=b$

Thus, the value of b is 5.

Length of TW:

The length of TW is given by

$TW=5.6+4+4$

$TW=13.6$

Thus, the length of TW is 13.6
