The length of the yard is 25ft.

In order to find this we first need to set up variables for the length and the width. Since we don't know anything about the width, we'll set it as x. Then, we know the length is equal to ten more than three times the width. Since the width is x, we can write the length as 3x + 10. Now we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x.

2l + 2w = P

2(3x + 10) + 2(x) = 60

6x + 20 + 2x = 60

8x + 20 = 60

8x = 40

x = 5

Now that we have a value for x, we can plug into the length equation and find the length.

3x + 10

3(5) + 10

15 + 10

25

What property is used with (1.6×2) ×5 and ( 27 × 2.5 ) × 4
Ahat [919]
The associative property is used for both of these. (1.6*2)*5 can also be 1.6*(2*5) and it would still give you the same exact answer. Same goes for (27*2.5)*4. I hope that helps!

How do you expand n! and (n+1)!
ELEN [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

n! = n × n−2 × n−3 × ... × 2 × 1

(n+1)! = n+1 × n × n−2 × n−3 × ... × 2 × 1

(n+1)! = (n+1) n!

Therefore:

lim(n→∞) (n! / (n+1)!)

lim(n→∞) (n! / ((n+1) n!))

lim(n→∞) (1 / (n+1))

Is my answer correct?
tatyana61 [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

By the "rule of 72", the amount will be doubled in 72/I years, where I is the annual interest rate in percent. That is, it can be estimated to take 72/4 = 18 years to double the $240 investment to $480. It would take another 18 years to double it again to $960. So, to achieve a balance of $1500 will be expected to take more than 36 years. The only reasonable answer choice is the one you have selected.

__

The exact solution is ...

  log (1500/240)/log(1 +0.04) ≈ 46.72 years ≈ 47 years.
