Answer:

x = 12

y = 22

Total amount = $2596

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the value of each deposit until the 10th in relation to x and y:

1st: x

2nd: y

3rd: x + y

4th: x + 2y

5th: 2x + 3y

6th: 3x + 5y

7th: 5x + 8y

8th: 8x + 13y

9th: 13x + 21y

10th: 21x + 34y

Now, we can write a system with two equations and two variables:

2x + 3y = 90

21x + 34y = 1000

From the first equation: x = (90 - 3y)/2

Using this value of x in the second equation, we have:

21*(90 - 3y)/2 + 34y = 1000

945 - 31.5y + 34y = 1000

2.5y = 55

y = 22

Now we can find x:

x = (90 - 3*22)/2 = 12

Now, summing all the deposits, we have a total of 55x + 88y, which is equal to 55*12 + 88*22 = $2596

During winter, Detroit is colder than Boston but warmer than Minneapolis. Which inequality correctly compares the winter tempera
Nat2105 [25]
We will take one given at a time, the common place is "Detroit", so we will take it as a reference.

1- Detroit is colder than Boston, this means that:
Temperature in Detroit < Temperature in Boston .........> I

2- Detroit is warmer that <span>Minneapolis, this means that:
Temperature is </span><span>Minneapolis < Temperature in Detroit .........> II

From I and II, we can conclude that:
</span><span>Minneapolis has the lowest temperature, followed by Detroit and then Boston.

Comparing this to the choices, we will find that the correct choice is:
</span><span>2. Minneapolis's temperature < Detroit's temperature < Boston's temperature</span>

marking brainlist. please help What is the first inverse operation for the following problem? 3x+4=12
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

3x + 4 = 12 :- x = 8 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 12

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

3x = 12 - 4

Subtract 4 from 12.

3x = 8

Divide each term by 3 and simplify.

Divide each term in 3x = 8 by 3.

3x / 3 = 8 / 3

Cancel the common factor of 3.

Divide x by 1.

x = 8 / 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

x = 8 / 3

Decimal Form:

x = 2.6

Mixed Number Form:

x = 2 2/3

What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The horsepower required is 235440 watt.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?

Solution :

The horsepower formula is given by,

W=\frac{mgh}{t}

Where, W is the horsepower

m is the mass m=8000 pound

g is the gravitational constant g=9.81

t is the time t= 2 minutes

h is the height h=6 feet

Substitute all values in the formula,

W=\frac{8000\times 9.81\times 6}{2}

W=\frac{470880}{2}

W=235440

Therefore, The horsepower required is 235440 watt.
