Answer:

$1200 should receive.

Step-by-step explanation:

To check whether to receive $1500 or $1200 just find the present values of each amount.

Present value of annuity $1500:

Present value of annuity = Annuity (P/A, 7%, 12)

Present value of annuity = 1500 (P/A, 7%, 12)

Present value of annuity = 1500 (7.9426)

Present value of annuity = $11913.9

Present value of annuity $1200:

Present value of annuity = Annuity (P/A, 7%, 20)

Present value of annuity = 1500 (P/A, 7%, 20)

Present value of annuity = 1500 (10.5940)

Present value of annuity = $15891

Thus, $1200 should receive.

What value of a satisfies the following equation? -2(a + 3) = -4a + 32

Yanka [14]

Answer:

a = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(a + 3) = -4a + 32

-2a - 6 = -4a +32

+2a +2a

-6 = -2a + 32

-32 -32

-38 = -2a

divide by -2

a = 19

How to find x and y I dont understand

lesantik [10]

68= 4x-2+30 (notice they are vertical angles)
68= 4x+28
40=4x
10=x

68+y= 180 (forms a straight angle)
y=112

Final answer: x=10, y=112

The number of wolves in a wildlife preserve is estimated to have increased continually by 3% per year. If the population is now

34kurt

For the answer to the question above, Well, first let us put up a functional equation. 
Since this is an exponential function, it'll be: f(t)=54,000*1.03^t 
But we want to know how many wolves there were 10 years ago. 
For that, we simply "turn time around", as in: f(t)=54,00*1.03^-t 
This displays a decreasing number of wolves, as you turn back time. 

Now we simply calculate 54,000*1.03^-10 
which is approximately 40,200?

Anyone know how to do this?! Help!

Paraphin [41]

Given:

Vertical angles.

One angle is 85°.

To find:

The measure of ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3.

Solution:

∠2 and 85° are vertically opposite angles and ∠1 and ∠3 are vertically opposite angles.

Vertical angle theorem:

If two lines are intersecting, then the vertically opposite angles are congruent.

⇒ m∠2 = 85°

Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°

m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

85° + m∠3 = 180°

Subtract 85° from both sides.

85° + m∠3 - 85° = 180° - 85°

m∠3 = 95°

By vertical angle theorem:

⇒ m∠1 = m∠3

⇒ m∠1 = 95°

Therefore m∠1 = 95°, m∠2 = 85° and m∠3 = 95°.
