Answer:

  • $54000 was invested at​ 8% interest
  • $36000 was invested at​ 6% interest
  • $10000 was invested at​ 9% interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Investment = ​$100,000

The investment was split into three parts (say x, y and z)

  • x+y+z=100000

Simple Interest = Principal X Rate/100 X Time

The first part of the investment earned​ 8% interest

Interest on the first part = 0.08x

The second part of the investment earned​ 6% interest

Interest on the second  part = 0.06y

The third part of the investment earned​ 9% interest

Interest on the third part = 0.09z

Total interest from the investments = $ 7380.

Therefore:

0.08x+0.06y+0.09z=7380

The interest from the first investment was 2 times the interest from the second.

0.08x=2 X 0.06y

0.08x=0.12y

Substituting we have:

0.12y+0.06y+0.09z=7380

0.18y+0.09z=7380

From 0.08x=0.12y

x=1.5y

Substituting x=1.5y into x+y+z=100000

1.5y+y+z=100000

2.5y+z=100000

z=100000-2.5y

Substituting z=100000-2.5y into 0.18y+0.09z=7380

0.18y+0.09(100000-2.5y)=7380

0.18y+9000-0.225y=7380

-0.045y=-1620

Divide both sides by -0.045

y=36000

Recall: x=1.5y

x=1.5 X 36000

x =54000

x+y+z=100000

54000+36000+z=100000

z=100000-(54000+36000)

z=10,000

Therefore:

  • $54000 was invested at​ 8% interest
  • $36000 was invested at​ 6% interest
  • $10000 was invested at​ 9% interest

Please answer me question 3 solving part​
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. D

2. B

3. A

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The pair of <JKL and <LKM can be referred to as linear pairs. They are two adjacent angles that are formed from the intersecting of two lines.

Question 2:

Given that <KLM = x°

<KML = 50°

<JKL = (2x - 15)°

According to the exterior angle theorem, exterior ∠ JKL = <KLM + KML.

2x - 15 = x + 50

Solve for x

2x - x = 15 + 50

x = 65

Therefore, <KLM = 65°

QUESTION 3:

<JKL = 2x - 15

Plug in the value of x

<JKL = 2(65) - 15

= 130 - 15

<JKL = 115°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you go mate

PEDMAS

STEP 1

3<-2x-137  equation

STEP 2

3<-2x-137  simplify by reversing equation

-2x-137>3

STEP 3

-2x-137>3   simplify

-2x>140

step 4

-2x>140   look for a number that can divide the two numbers like 2

-2x /-2 > 140 /-2

1>-70

What is a peregrine falcon's maximum speed while diving to catch prey,
Sergeu [11.5K]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

What is a peregrine falcon's maximum speed while diving to catch prey 200 miles per hour in feet per second? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (1  mile = 5280 feet)

Answer : The speed in feet per second is, 293 feet/s

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that the speed of peregrine falcon's is 200 miles per hour. Now we  have to determine the speed in feet per second.

As we know that:

1  mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 3600 second

So,

1 mile/hr = 1.4667 feet/s

As, 1 mile/hr = 1.4667 feet/s

So, 200 mile/hr = \frac{200\text{ mile/hr}}{1\text{ mile/hr}}\times 1.4667\text{ feet/s}

                          = 293.34 feet/s ≈ 293 feet/s

Therefore, the speed in feet per second is, 293 feet/s
