Since y must equal both 3x+2 and x-4, we deduce that 3x+2 and x-4 must equal each other. So, we have

$3x+2=x-4 \iff 2x+2=-4 \iff 2x=-6 \iff x=-3$

Answer:

b. -3

Step-by-step explanation:

the system is:

$y=3x+2\\y=x-4$

to find the value of x, we need to eliminate the y variable.

We can eliminate the 'y' by substracting the equations:

$y=3x+2\\-(y=x-4)\\-----------\\y=3x+2\\-y=-x+4\\------------\\y-y=3x-x+2+4$

which is simplified to:

$0=2x+6$

and clearing for x:

$2x=-6\\x=-6/2\\x=-3$

which is option b.

How much more would $1,000 earn in 5 years in an account compounded continuously than an account compounded quarterly if the int

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: There is a difference of $ 1.0228.

Explanation: Given, initial amount or principal = $ 1000,

Time= 5 years and given compound rate of interest = $3.7%

Now, Since the amount in compound continuously,

$A= Pe^{rt}$ , where, r is the rate of compound interest, P is the principal amount and t is the time.

Here, P=$ 1000, t=5 years and r= $3.7%,

Thus, amount in compound continuously , $A=1000e^{3.7\times5/100}$

⇒ $A=1000e^{18.5}=1000\times 1.20321844013=1203.21844013$

Therefore, interest in this compound continuously rate =1203.21844013-1000=203.21844013

now, Since the amount in compound quarterly,

$A=P(1+\frac{r/4}{100} )^{4t}$ , where, r is the rate of compound interest, P is the principal amount and t is the time.

Thus, amount in compound quarterly, $A=1000(1+\frac{3.7/4}{100} )^{4\times5}$

⇒ $A=1000(1+\frac{3.7}{400} )^{20}$

⇒ $A= 1202.19567617$

Therefore, interest in this compound quarterly rate=1202.19567617-1000=202.19567617

So, the difference in these interests=203.21844013-202.19567617=1.02276396 ≈1.0228

oksian1 [2.3K]

I think it would be 117

Because H is 63
So 90+90+63=243
360-243=117
I used 360 because angles in quadrilaterals add up to 360 degrees

Answer:

First = Poppy seed = 3x10^-4 grams = 0.0003 grams

Second = sesame seeds = 3.64x10^-6 grams = 0.00364 grams

third = 250 pumpkin seeds 21 grams = one seed 0.084 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

3.64x10^-6 kilograms *1000gr/Kilograms = 0.00364 grams

21/250 = 0.0084 grams one seeds
