Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, the Multiplication Property of Equality wouldn't help us because it tells us we can always multiply the same quantity times both sides of an equation.

Since we want to be able to get x by itself, multiplying both sides

of the equation by the same quantity wouldn't help us.

Instead, we would use the Division Property of Equality.

In order to get from the statement 5x = -20 to the statement where x

is isolated, we must divide both sides of the statement, 5x = -20, by 5.

So we have x = -4.

So this statement uses the Division Property of Equality.

I hope this picture helps, but next time try to chose a number to cancel out the fraction. Example, y=1/3x+4 chose 3,6,9 and other multiples of 3.

Merle Fonda opened a new savings account. She deposited $40,000 at 10% compounded semiannually. At the start of the fourth year,

IrinaVladis [17]

Use compound interest formula F=P(1+i)^n twice, one for each deposit and sum the two results.

For the P=$40,000 deposit,
i=10%/2=5% (semi-annual)
number of periods (6 months), n = 6*2 = 12
Future value (at end of year 6),
F = P(1+i)^n = 40,000(1+0.05)^12 = $71834.253

For the P=20000, deposited at the START of the fourth year, which is the same as the end of the third year.
i=5% (semi-annual
n=2*(6-3), n = 6
Future value (at end of year 6)
F=P(1+i)^n = 20000(1+0.05)^6 = 26801.913

Total amount after 6 years
= 71834.253 + 26801.913
=98636.17 (to the nearest cent.)

What is the length of the side labeled x cm?

UkoKoshka [18]

When we know 2 angles and one side, we use the Law of Sines.
First we need to find that third angle.
Angle A =
180 -41 -62 = 77 degrees

The Law of Sines states that

side a / Sine (A) = side x / Sine (X)
14 / Sine (77) = side x / Sine (41)

14 * Sine (41) / Sine (77) = side x

side x = 14 * 0.65606 / 0.97437
side x = 9.18484 / 0.97437

 side x = 9.4264396482
