9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional.

  BE/CD = AE/AD

  20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)

  20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)

In standard form, this is ...

  3x^2 -15x -528 = 0

  x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3

  (x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

  x = 16

__

This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

Find the simple interest earned in a savings account that pays 5% interest if $500 is deposited for 4 years. A. $100, B. $1000,
g100num [7]
To calculate simple interest, you first need to multiply the original amount by the percentage of the money which is going to be added.

In this situation, 500 x 0.05 is the interest which will be added each year.
Therefore, $25 will be added each year. Since it is over 4 years, it is (25*4).
So the account will have earned $100 of simple interest.

Although the account will contain $600, it will have EARNED $100 of interest since it started with $500 already.

Answer - A $100 of simple interest will be earned.

Help stuck on methods question ​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

Let's write an equation for the area of this figure.

This figure can be divided into 2 rectangles, a vertical and horizontal rectangle.

Area of rectangle= length× breadth

Area of vertical rectangle= 6x

Length of horizontal rectangle= (7 -x) cm

Area of horizontal rectangle= x(7-x)

Since total area= 30 cm^2,

6x+ x(7-x)= 30

6x +7x -x^2= 30 (expand)

-x^2 +13x-30= 0 (bring all terms to one side)

x^2 -13x +30= 0 (divide by -1)

(x -10)(x -3)= 0 (factorise)

x -10= 0 or x -3= 0

x= 10 or x= 3

(reject)

We reject x=10 since from the diagram, x cm is less than 6cm.

ℜ 0, -180 is the same rotation as ℜ 0, 180. True False
neonofarm [45]

In summary, the final outcomes are the same, but the directions of rotation are different.   For this reason:  False
