5n-4 = 6 gives the equation for 5 times #Nathan rode less 4 miles which solves to n = 2
Nathan rode 2 miles. (5*2)-4 = 6 10-4=6 so 2 miles is right

Answer:

Nathan rode his bike $2\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> number of miles that Miguel rode his bike

y-----> number of miles that Nathan rode his bike

we know that

$x=5y-4$ -----> equation A

$x=6\ mi$ -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B and solve for y

$6=5y-4$

$5y=6+4$

$5y=10$

$y=2\ mi$

Capital Value Find the capital value of an asset that generates $7200 yearly income if the interest rate is as follows.

olganol [36]

a. An asset that generates $7200 yearly income if the interest rate 5% compounded continuously, then its capital value is $140433.002

b. An asset that generates $7200 yearly income if the interest rate 10% compounded continuously, then its capital value is $68460.59

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For continuously compound interest

$A = P \times e^{r t}$ ---------------> eq.1

Where

P = principal amount (initial investment)

r = annual interest rate (as a decimal)

t = number of years

A = amount after time t.

Let’s solve the equation

Where,

P is unknown

A = P + 7200 (asset after 1 year) ---------------> eq. 2

<u>Case A: </u>

$r=\frac{\text {interest rate}}{100}=\frac{5}{100}=0.05$

t = 1 (1 year)

Substitute all values in the formula (2) using the formula (1),

$P \times e^{(0.05)(1)}=P+7200$

$P \times e^{0.05}-P=7200$

$P\left(e^{0.05}-1\right)=7200$

$P(1.05127-1)=7200$

$P(0.05127)=7200$

$P=\frac{7200}{0.05127}=\$140433.002$

<u>Case B:</u>

$r=\frac{\text {interest rate}}{100}=\frac{10}{100}=0.10$

t = 1 (1 year)

Substitute all values in the formula (2) using the formula (1),

$P \times e^{(0.10)(1)}=P+7200$

$P \times e^{0.10}-P=7200$

$P\left(e^{0.10}-1\right)=7200$

$P(1.10517-1)=7200$

$P(0.10517)=7200$

$P=\frac{7200}{0.10517}=\$68460.59$

Jan's age is 3 years less than twice tritt's age. The sum of their ages is 30. Find their ages.

Mashutka [201]

J + t = 30
j = 2t - 3

2t - 3 + t = 30
3t - 3 = 30
3t = 30 + 3
3t = 33
t = 33/3
t = 11 <=== tritt's age is 11

j = 2t - 3
j = 2(11) - 3
j = 22 - 3
j = 19 <== jan's age is 19

Trig help please, 2 questions, 10 pts

Scrat [10]

1. 2700 degrees. 450 rotations in on minute is 450(360) degrees per minute. If you divide this by 60 you get 2700.
2. 180 degrees. 4.3 rotations per minute is 4.3 times 360 degrees per minute. Multiply that times 5, and divide the answer by 360 and you get 21.5, which means he is 180 degrees from his starting point.
