At a rate of 4%, you paid $144.00 in interest over a two-year period. What was the original amount of your loan?

1 answer:

6 0

Principal is the same as original amount.
1. You convert the rate % to a decimal number. (divide by 100) 

2. Substitute: 

P = 144 / (.04 x 2) 

3. Solve: 

P = 144 / .08 
P = 1,800 

4. Your answer is $1,800

How do I solve for x?

notka56 [123]

Solving:
$\frac{3+4x}{2} + \frac{5-x}{3} = \frac{29}{6}$
Make the Least Common Multiple (2,3,6)
$2,3,6\:|2$
$1,3,3\:|3$
$1,1,1\:|\underline{2*3=6}$

Replace denominators and resolve:
 $\frac{3+4x}{2} + \frac{5-x}{3} = \frac{29}{6}$
$\frac{3(3+4x)}{6} + \frac{2(5-x)}{6} = \frac{29}{6}$
Cancel the dominators
$\frac{3(3+4x)}{\diagup\!\!\!\!6} + \frac{2(5-x)}{\diagup\!\!\!\!6} = \frac{29}{\diagup\!\!\!\!6}$
$3(3+4x) + 2(5-x) = 29$
$9 + 12x + 10 - 2x = 29$
$12x - 2x = 29 - 9 - 10$
$10x = 20 - 10$
$10x = 10$
$x = \frac{10}{10}$
$\boxed{\boxed{x = 1}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Write the ordered pair that represents MP. Then find the magnitude of MP.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

(23,-4): $\sqrt{545}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that M(-19,4)and P(4,0)

We have to find the ordered pair that represents MP and find the magnitude of MP.

MP=P-M

MP=(4,0)-(-19,4)=(4+19,0-4)

MP=(23,-4)

Magnitude of MP= $\sqrt{(23)^2+(-4)^2}$

Magnitude of MP= $\sqrt{529+16}$

Magnitude of MP= $\sqrt{545}$ units

Hence, .option c is true.

Answer:c.(23,-4): $\sqrt{545}$ units

A certain medicine is given in an amount proportional to a patient's body weight. Suppose a patient weighing

Marizza181 [45]

Set up a proportion.

pounds / milligrams of medicine

195/279 = 130/x

195x = 279 times 130
195x =36,270
x = 36,270/195
x = 186

A patient weighing 130 pounds needs 186 milligrams of medicine.
