X^2 +3x-4=0
(X+4)(x-1)=0 so x = -4 and x=1 are solutions
The effective rate is calculated in the following way:

where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
Answer:
keiko- x
imelda- x+ 36
Sarah- x- 38
Step-by-step explanation:
- keiko is x since we have not been given his number of boxes.
- because imelda's number of boxes was 36 <em>more </em><em>than </em>keiko's, you will add the x which is for keiko and 36 for imelda(x+36).
- and sarah's number of boxes will be x-36 because we have been told her number of boxes is 38 <em>fewer </em><em>than </em> keiko's.
Answer:
8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Because all 4 angles are congruent, the sides are proportional.
the scale factor is 5/30 = 1/6.
meaning x = 16(1/6)=8/3.
