Answer:

70 members in 2016

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2016

Let the number of members= x

They all paid y amount

Total fees= 42

Xy= 42...... equation 1

In 2017

Members= x+20

They paid y-0.1

Total fees = 45

(X+20)(y-0.1)= 45…equation 2

Xy -0.1x +20y -2= 45

Using values from equation 1

42-0.1(42/y) +20y -2= 45

-4.2/y+20y-5= 0

20y² -4.2 -5y = 0

100y² -25y -21= 0

Solving quadratically

Y= 0.6 or -0.35

We are dealing with price so y Is

definitely a positive number

Y= 0.6

If y= 0.6

Solving for x

Xy= 42

X= 42/0.6

X=70

There were exactly 70 members in 2016

an employee adds 160 fluid ounces of chemical to a feature that holds 120,000 gallons of water. did the employee add yhe correct
Hitman42 [59]
We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.

A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.

Answer:

c = 15 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is solveable using the Pythagorean Theorem,

let's say a = 9 and b = 12,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so

9^2 + 12^2 = 225 then,

sqrt(225) = 15, so c = 15 m
