Answer:

The length of the longer piece is 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece is 3 times the other piece than their are 4 pieces. So, divide 240 by 4 to get 60. Since it is 3 times you multiply the 60 by 3 to get 180. Thus, the small piece is 60 and the large piece is 180. 180 is 3 times as long as 60 and 60 + 180 = 240.

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.

The sum of two integers is 61 and their difference is 1. Find the integers.
musickatia [10]

We can find this integer using a system of equations.  The first thing we look at is the first sentence.

Let's call X The first integer,

Let's call Y the second integer.


So, X+Y=61 and X-Y= 1


Using Substituion on the second equation, we get

X=Y+1

(Now we plug in Y+1 into the second equation for X)

So,

(Y+1)+Y=61

2Y=60

Y=30

So, one of the integers is 30.

Now to find the second, we go back to

X=Y+1

X=30+1

X=31.


So, the integers are 31 and 30.


Hope this helps!
