Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

which expressions represents a 20% discount off the price of an item that originally cost D dollars ​
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

D - (D/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine that D equals 100 dollars -

Well, we know that to get 20% of an amount, we need to divide the amount by five. So let's do that -

100 / 5 = 20

We now know that 20% of 100 dollars is equal to 20 dollars. We have now finished the first part. On to the second part.

We now need to take away 20% of 100 dollars off of 100 dollars - this is the price of the item after the discount.

100 - 20 = 80 dollars.

We now fit in D instead of 100 dollars -

D - (D/5)

2) Angelina is deciding which bank would give her the
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Final amount A= 320

Principal P = 300

Time (t) = 2 years

Yes, the information is enough to obtain the interest rate :

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

r = interest rate

320 = 300(1 + r*2)

320 = 300(1 + 2r)

320/300 = 1 + 2r

1.0666666 = 1 + 2r

1.0666666 - 1 = 2r

0.0666666 = 2r

r = 0.0666666 / 2

r = 0.0333333

(0.0333333) * 100% = 3.33%

A right triangle has a perimeter of 24 cm and a hypotenuse of 10 cm. Find the length of the other two sides.
jekas [21]

Answer:

One of the sides is 6 cm and the other is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown sides a and b. From the perimeter information (24 cm) we have:

a + b + hypotenuse = 24

a + b + 10 = 24

a + b = 14

b = 14 - a

So now we can right the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

a^2 + b^2 = hypotenuse^2\\a^2 + (14-a)^2=10^2\\a^2+ 14^2-28\,a+a^2=100\\2\,a^2-28\,a +96=0\\2\,(a^2-14\,a+48)=0\\2\,(a^2-6\,a-8\,a+48)=0\\2(a\,(a-6)-8\,(a-6))=0\\2\,(a-6)\,(a-8)=0

and from this expression in factor form to be zero a must be 6 or a must be 8.

Therefore the solutions are a = 6 (and therefore b = 14 - 6 = 8)

or a = 8 (and therefore b = 14 - 8 = 6)
