A rich woman deposits a whole number of dollars x in her bank. The next time she deposits y dollars (still a whole number). Each

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

11. What is the value of x in the figure at the right? (Examples 3 and 4)
natka813 [3]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Vertically opposite angles are equal
  • Angles around a point add up to 360°

Therefore, 15x + 15x + 15 + 15 = 360

\implies 30x+30=360

\implies 30x=330

\implies x=11

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

u = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{4} u = 12

Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction

3u = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

u = 16
