Answer:

2/3x - 3 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2/3x - 3 = 5

Add 3 to each side

2/3x-3+3 = 5+3

2/3x = 8

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2*2/3x = 8*3/2

x = 12

What is the arc measure of minor arc AB in degrees?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$m\widehat{AB} =55 \degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because m\angle APC=m\angle DPE$

(Vertical angles)

$\therefore m\widehat {ABC} =m\widehat {DE}$

(Measure of minor arc is equal to the measure of it's corresponding central angle)

$\therefore m\widehat {AB}+m\widehat {BC} = m\widehat {DE}$

$\therefore m\widehat{AB} = m\widehat {DE} - m\widehat {BC} \\ \\ m\widehat{AB} =93 \degree - 38 \degree \\ \\ m\widehat{AB} =55 \degree$

1. Jeremy has $12000 cash to invest in the bank compounded at 4% interest annually.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

$12000 cash

This means that $P = 12000$

Compounded at 4% interest annually.

This means that $r = 0.04, n = 1$

What equation will calculate the value in x years?

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A(x) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nx}$

$A(x) = 12000(1 + 0.04)^x$

$A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x$

Find the equation of a line that passes through points (1,8) and (4,4).

daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation: Using the equation, y = mx + b, the slope-intercept form, plug in the values you have and solve for b. (m is the slope.) You have y = -8 and x = 4 and m = 1/2.
