Answer:

x = -4

m<LMP = 77°

m<NMP = 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight angles by definition have a total measure of 180°.

This means that m<LMP and m<NMP are 180° together.

Therefore m<LMP + m<NMP = 180°.

[substitution property]

(-16x + 13)° + (-20x + 23)° = 180°

[associative property of addition]

(-36x + 36)° = 180°

-36x + 36 = 180

–36 –36

-36x = 144

÷-36 ÷-36

x = -4

_________________

Since m<LMP = (-16x + 13)°.

Using substitution with x = -4:

m<LMP = (-16(-4) + 13)° = (64 + 13)° = 77°.

Since m<NMP = (-20x + 23)°.

Using substitution with x = -4:

m<NMP = (-20(-4) + 23)° = (80 + 23)° = 103°.

This is true because 77° + 103° = 180°.

Paul has $30,000 to invest. His intent is to earn 15% interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 8% interest

jeka94

Answer:

Amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount invested at 8% be x.

Let amount invested at 18% be y.

We get the 1st equation as:

$x+y=30000$ ........(1)

We get the second equation as:

$0.08x+0.18(y)=0.15\times30000$

=> $0.08x+0.18y=4500$

or getting rid of the decimal by multiplying by 100 on both sides.

$8x+18y=450000$ ........(2)

Multiplying (1) by 8 and subtracting from (2) we get

$10y=210000$

So, y = 21000

And $x+21000=30000$

$x = 30000-21000$

So, x = 9000

Therefore, amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.

Expand using the properties and rules for logarithms

malfutka [58]

Consider expression $\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right).$

1. Use property

$\log_a\dfrac{b}{c}=\log_ab-\log_ac.$

Then

$\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2.$

2. Use property

$\log_abc=\log_ab+\log_ac.$

Then

$\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2.$

3. Use property

$\log_ab^k=k\log_ab.$

Then

$\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2.$

4. Use property

$\log_{a^k}b=\dfrac{1}{k}\log_ab.$

Then

$\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x-\log_{2^{-1}}2=\\ \\=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x+\log_22=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x+1.$

Answer: correct option is B.

I could use some help doing this simple math problem lol.

$D:k-9\geq 0 \wedge k\geq0\\
D:k\geq 9 \wedge k\geq0\\
D:k\geq 9\\
\sqrt{k-9}-\sqrt k=-1\\
\sqrt{k-9}=-1+\sqrt k\\
k-9=(-1+\sqrt k)^2\\
k-9=1-2\sqrt k+k\\
2\sqrt k=10\\
\sqrt k =5\\
k=25
