Answer:

a. 9,235 feet

b. John Adam was older when he became president.

Step-by-step explanation:

(15). Height of the mountain = 29,135 feet

A climber hiked from base camp at 17,600 feet and then 2,300 feet.

He hiked total = 17,600 + 2,300 = 19,900 feet

Now the distance is left to reach the top = 29,135 - 19,900

                                                                    = 9,235 feet

The climber is 9,145 feet farther to reach the top of the mountain.

(16). John Adams was born in 1732 and became president in 1797.

At that time his age was = 1797 - 1732 = 65 years

Harry S. Truman was born in 1884 and became president in 1945.

At that time his age was = 1945 - 1884 = 61 years

John Adams was older when he became president.

A man invests his savings in two accounts, one paying 6% and the other paying 10% simple interest per year. He puts twice as muc
Masteriza [31]

Let x represent amount invested in the higher-yielding account.

We have been given that a man puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. So amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be 2x.

We are also told that his annual interest is $6600 dollars. We know that annual interest for one year will be principal amount times interest rate.

I=Prt, where,

I = Amount of interest,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

We are told that interest rates are 6% and 10%.

6\%=\frac{6}{100}=0.06

10\%=\frac{10}{100}=0.10

Amount of interest earned from lower-yielding account: 2x(0.06)=0.12x.

Amount of interest earned from higher-yielding account: x(0.10)=0.10x.

0.12x+0.10x=6600

Let us solve for x.

0.22x=6600

\frac{0.22x}{0.22}=\frac{6600}{0.22}

x=30,000

Therefore, the man invested $30,000 at 10%.

Amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be 2x\Rightarrow 2(30,000)=60,000.

Therefore, the man invested $60,000 at 6%.

Pls help me help me pls ​
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Point B

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines given:

  • y= 2/5x - 1/2
  • y= -1/3x +2/3

x coordinate of intersection of given lines is:

  • 2/5x - 1/2= -1/3x+2/3
  • 2/5x+1/3x= 2/3 +1/2
  • 6/15x+5/15x= 4/6+3/6
  • 11/15x=7/6
  • x= 7*15/11*6
  • x= 35/22

For this value of x, the value of y is:

  • y= 2/5*35/22 - 1/2
  • y=14/22- 1/2
  • y= 3/22

As per graph point (35/22, 3/22) is point B

Just Q9 please x If u could help that would be great
dybincka [34]
General rule: The angles on a straight line total 180°

The right angle equates to 90° 

Since that angle is half of our desired angle, it must mean that 2x + x = 90°

breaking this down, we get 3x = 90° which can be divided to make x = 30°
