Given:
Let x be the whole amount inherited.
1/2 * x - invested with Bernie Madoff
1/3 * x - lost due to identity theft
1/8 * x - lost in casino
40,000 - remainder

x - x/2 - x/3 - x/8 = 40,000

LCM:
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
8: 8, 16, 24,

x * 24/24 = 24x / 24
x/2 * 12/12 = 12x / 24
x/3 * 8/8 = 8x / 24
x/8 * 3/3 = 3x / 24
40,000 * 24/24 = 960,000 / 24

24x/24 - 12x/24 - 8x/24 - 3x/24 = 960,000/24
(24x - 12x - 8x - 3x)/24 = 960,000/24
x/24 = 960,000/24
24 * x/24 = 24 * 960,000/24
x = 960,000

x = 960,000 initial inheritance
x/2 = 960,000/2 = 480,000 invested with Bernie Madoff
x/3 = 960,000/3 = 320,000 lost due to identity theft
x/8 = 960,000/8 = 120,000 lost in the casino
40,000 - remaining amount.

960k - 480k - 320k - 120k = 40k
40k = 40k

Joe spends S3 per square foot on carpet for a square room. If he spends

Serjik [45]

Answer:

12 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find out how many square feet he bought by dividing 432 by 3.

432/3=144

Now, you need to find the square root of that to find the length of just one side of the room.

$\sqrt{144}=12$

Kite WXYZ is graphed on a coordinate plane. What is the approximate perimeter of the kite? Round to the nearest tenth. 10.6 unit

Archy [21]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>Perimeter of the kite is </em><em>16.2 units</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

As WXYZ is a kite, so two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent, i.e WX=XY and WZ=ZY

So, perimeter of the kite WXYZ is,

$=2(\overline{WX}+\overline{WZ})$

And

$\overline{WX}=\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(1-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}$

$\overline{WZ}=\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(1+3)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(4)^2}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}$

So, perimeter will be,

$P=2(\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{20})=16.15\approx 16.2\ units$

M<3 is (3x + 4) and m<5 is (2x +11)

butalik [34]

Answer:

Part 1) Option C. Same side interior angles

Part 2) Option A. $(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°$

Part 3) Option B. $m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

If p and q are parallel

then

m<3 and m<5 are consecutive interior angles or Same side interior angles

and

$m$

Part 2) we know that

$m$ -----> by consecutive interior angles (supplementary angles)

we have that

$m$

$m$

so

substitute

$(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°$

Part 3) Find the measure of angle 5

we know that

$(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°$

Solve for x

$5x+15\°=180\°$

$5x=180\°-15\°$

$x=165\°/5\°=33\°$

$m$

substitute the value of x

$m$
