Answer:

a. $3600

b. 6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the question into an equation:

8x - 1/4 x 8x = 5x + 450

(simplify before solving) 6x = 5x + 450

(solve) 6x-5x = 450

x = 450

This means that Jimmy had 8 x 450 $ to start with = 3600

you can check this by subtracting a quarter of 3600 from 3600 and also multiplying 450 by 5 and then obtaining their difference. You get 450!

Now ratio of new amounts:

Jimmy now has: $2700

John still has: $2250

so ratio is 2700:2250

simplify to 6:5

Hope this helps

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at (-3, -4) and (5, 8)?

lord [1]

Answer:

(4, ``6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is

((x sub 2 - x sub 1)/2, (y sub 2 -y sub 1)/2). As shown, its written like a coordinate

Your x sub 1 is the x-coordinate of your first coordinate pair, and the rest follow the same pattern.

So, (5-(-3)/2, 8-(-4)/2)

5-(-3)=5+3=8

8-(-4)=8+4=12

(8/2, 12/2)

(4,6)

Lines l and m are parallel. When they are cut by the two transversals below, a triangle is formed.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

<2 = 34degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below:

First we need to get <1;

<1 + 74 = 180 (angle on a straight line)

<1 = 180 - 74

<1 = 106degrees

Also, <1 + <2 + 40 = 180 (sum of angle in a triangle)

106+<2 + 40 = 180

146 + <2 = 180

<2 = 180-146

<2 = 34degrees
