Answer:

Sylvia's investment would double first

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of years it takes for amount invested to double itself using the 72 rule is 72 divided by rate of interest as computed below:

Sylvia investment:

Sylvia's investment would double in 9 years' time  (72/8)

Manuel's investment"

Manuel investment of $600 would double itself in 9.9 years' time (72/7.25)

From the above analysis,Sylvia's investment of $500 at the 8% rate of interest would double first

A plot of land doubles in size by adding x meters to the length and x meters to the width of the land. if the original plot had
ladessa [460]
Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>
