13=3x-x/2
13=5x/2
26=5x
X=5.2
Answer:
<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

We have:
AC = 1 + 4 = 5
AJ = 1
AB = 1 + x
AK = 1
Substitute:

<em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

2.
ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

We hve:
VU = x + 8
VM = x
VT = 49
VN = 49 - 14 = 35
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 14</em>

D is not in correct scientific notation. To be correct, the answer would be 5.0 x 10^2

To solve this we are going to use the future value of annuity due formula:
![FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{kt}-1 }{ \frac{r}{n} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3D%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%29%2AP%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%29%5E%7Bkt%7D-1%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%7D%20%5D)
where

is the future value

is the periodic deposit

is the interest rate in decimal form

is the number of times the interest is compounded per year

is the number of deposits per year
We know for our problem that

and

. To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%:

. Since Ruben makes the deposits every 6 months,

. The interest is compounded semiannually, so 2 times per year; therefore,

.
Lets replace the values in our formula:
![FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{kt}-1 }{ \frac{r}{n} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3D%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%29%2AP%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%29%5E%7Bkt%7D-1%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%7D%20%5D)
![FV=(1+ \frac{0.1}{2} )*420[ \frac{(1+ \frac{0.1}{2})^{(2)(15)}-1 }{ \frac{01}{2} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3D%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.1%7D%7B2%7D%20%29%2A420%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.1%7D%7B2%7D%29%5E%7B%282%29%2815%29%7D-1%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B01%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5D)
We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>
