Answer:

  $4444.44

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest on a given principal is found by ...

  I = Prt . . . . principal P earning annual rate r for t years.

We want ...

  400 = P×0.09×1

  P = 400/0.09 ≈ 4444.44

Alex needs to borrow $4444.44.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For exactly $400 in interest, the amount is not an integral number of cents, so some rounding of interest or loan amount must occur. In that case, the minimum to borrow is that which will give a calculated interest of at least $399.995. That amount is $399.994/0.09 ≈ $4444.3888.... ≈ $4444.39. Alex can borrow a minimum of $4444.39 and still have to pay $400 in interest.

Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km.
ExtremeBDS [4]
Assuming your numbers are rounded to the nearest km, the minimum area will be ...
  (5.5 km)·(10.5 km) = 57.75 km² . . . minimum

And the maximum area will be ...
  (6.5 km)·(11.5 km) = 74.75 km² . . . maximum

_____
When a number is rounded to 6 km as the nearest km, its value may actually be anywhere in the range 6 km ± 0.5 km. If you really want to get technical about it, the ranges of possible dimensions are [5.5, 6.5) km and [10.5, 11.5) km, and the range of possible areas is [57.75, 74.75) km².

3.
a. 380 ÷ 38 = 10 
b. 190 ÷ 38 = 5
c. 570 ÷ 38 = 15
d. use 10 times 38 = 380, 190 is half of 380 so half of 10 is 5, 570 is 380 + 190 so 10 + 5

4.
a. 670 ÷ 67 = 10
b. 603 ÷ 67 = 9
c. 737 ÷ 67 = 11
d. use 10 times 67 = 670, 603 is 670 - 67 so 10 - 1 = 9, 737 is 670 + 67 so 10 + 1 = 11

Challenge:
1062 - 279 = 783
\frac{1}{3} (783)=261
783 - 261 = 522
522 ÷ 15 = 34 remainder 12

Find the sum of (x+5) and (2x+3)
Komok [63]

Answer:

3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 + 2x + 3   If you put the x's together and the numbers without x's, you will see what is going on much easier.

x + 2x + 5 + 3 = (1 + 2)x + 5 + 3 = 3x + 8

Don't go any  further.
