Answer:
The difference is 48 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question is</em></u>
What is the difference of the hikers' altitudes?
Let
x -----> the Melissa's altitude in meters
y ----> Brian's altitude in meters
we have that
---> is positive because is above sea level
---> is negative because is below sea level
Remember that the sea level is the altitude equal to zero
<em>Find the difference</em>
To find out the difference of the hikers' altitudes, subtract Brian's altitude from Melissa's altitude
so

Remember that (-1)(-1)=+1

BD = BC + CD
7x - 10 = (4x - 29) + (5x - 9)
7x - 10 = 9x - 38
2x = 28
Ans: x = 14
BC = 4x - 29
= 4(14) - 29
= 27
Ans: BC = 27
CD = 5x - 9
= 5(14) - 9
= 61
Ans: CD = 61
BD = 61 + 27
= 88
Ans: BD = 88
Answer:4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
75-15-56=3b
4=3b
b=4/3
Answer:
their current cash flow is negative since their expenses are higher than their income:
- monthly net income = $56,000 / 12 = $4,667
- monthly expenses = $1,500 + $3,500 = $5,000
- monthly cash flow = ($333)
they have 3 options:
- Option 1 (which I personally dislike) is that Neil contributes $4,000 less per year to his retirement account in order to balance their net income and expenses. The problem is that once he retires, his income will be much lower.
- Option 2 is that they lower their expenses a little bit, only enough to balance their cash flows.
- Option 3 is that Nancy gets a part time job, maybe a couple of hours per day which will allow her to earn money that can be used to cover some expenses.
Personally I believe that option 2 is the best, but if they definitely cannot lower their monthly expenses, then option 3 would probably fit them.
