Answer:
a) x = -10
b) x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
2(x + 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -4 - 6
x = -10
b)
4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 7
We know that these two angles are equal to each other (There is the "congruent" sign) so we can set them equal to each other and solve for x
3x - 17 = 25 - 3x
(3x + 3x) - 17 = 25 + (-3x + 3x)
6x + (- 17 + 17) = 25 + 17
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.Find the sum
The formula for Simple Interest = PRT
From above question, we have to find the Principal
The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200
Hence,
R = 8%
T = 5 years
Rs 200 = P × 8% × 5
P = 200/8% × 5
P = Rs500
The principal = Rs 500
The simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.
Simple Interest = PRT
R = 18%
T = 3 years and 4 months
Converted to years
T = 3 + (4 months/12 months)
T = 3.33 years
Hence,
Simple Interest = Rs 500 × 18% × 3.33 years
= Rs 299.7
