Answer:
<h2>x = 28</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔARP and ΔCRD are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We have:
AR = 10 + x
CR = x
PR = 15 + 42 = 57
DR = 42
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 42x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 15</em>
Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3
So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (a + b)² = (a + b) * (a +b)
(a + b)³ = (a + b) * (a +b) * (a +b)
a²- b² = (a +b) (a - b)
Here (a + b) is common in all the three expressions
HCF = (a + b)
b) (x - 1) = (x - 1)
x² - 1 = (x - 1) * (x + 1)
(x³ - 1) = (x - 1) (x² + x + 1)
HCF = (x -1)
The first year, the amount is 40,000
the second year is 40000 + 4.2% of 40000, or 0.042 * 4000, so 40000+(0.042*4000)
common factoring that we get 40000(1 + 0.042), or just 40000(1.042)
in short, the starting amount is 40000, and to get the next term's value you'd use the "common ratio" of 1.042, namely the multiplier of 1.042.
for the third year it'll be 40000(1.042) + (0.042 *
40000(1.042) ), again, common factoring that
40000(1.042)(1 + 0.042) or 40000(1.042)(1.042) or 40000(1.042)²
therefore,
