Value of the investment (loss of 13.8dollars)
48.48-13.8=34.65dollars
This situation shows that <em>the sides lengths of rectangle P is three times longer than the similar sides on Q</em>. <em>x correlates to 4 ft</em>, and <em>9 ft correlates to y</em>.
This means <em>x = 3*4</em> and <em>9 = 3*y</em>.
x = 12 (simplification)
y = 9/3 (division)
y = 3 (simplification)
There is no solution to this set that works for both equations. If you multiply the top equation by 2 and then add them together, the x and y numbers will cancel. This leaves you with 0 =1010, which is never true.
The answer is 5 because it is consecutive 3 times and it is an odd number
The cube root of (n increased by 8), or ∛(n+8), is -0.5, or -1/2.
∛(n+8) = -1/2. To solve this for n, cube both sides, obtaining n+8 = -1/8.
Eliminate the fraction by mult. all three terms by 8: 8n + 64 = -1
Solving for n: 8n = -65, so that n = -65/8.
