What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

John deposited $2860 in a bank that pays 9% interest, compounded monthly. find the amount he will have at the end of 3 years ?
7nadin3 [17]
To find that you first need to find what 9% is. You can multiply the number, 2,860 by .09 to find out your answer. That should be equal to 257.40. Since you now have that number, you can multiply it by 36. 257.40 is your average per month and you want to know by 3 years. So then your next step is 257.4*36 (there is 36 months in 3 years) which should be equal to 9,266.40.

Answer:

z = 113

y = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

j || n and line a is their transversal. (given)

Therefore,

z° = 180° - 67° (exterior angles on the same side of transversal)

z°= 113°

z = 113

(5y - 88)° = 67° (exterior alternate angles)

5y - 88 = 67

5y = 67 + 88

5y = 155

y = 155/5

y = 31
