Answer:

$2000x(1.03)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

This is known as compound interest.

100% + 3% = 103%, so we put this into a decimal: 1.03

We now put this into the equation:

$2000x(1.03)ˣ

If you want to work out the price after, say 3 years, then you would change x to 3, so the equation becomes

$2000x(1.03)³

You can then use a calculator to work out the answer.

A large cheese pizza costs $7.50. Each additional topping for the pizza costs $1.35. If the total bill for the pizza Sally order

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: She ordered 4 toppings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total cost of pizza = $ 12.90

Cost of pizza =$7.50

Price per topping = $1.35

Let x = Number of toppings,

Total cost of pizza = (Cost of pizza) + (price per topping) × (Number of topping)

$12.90= 7.50+1.35x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.35x=12.90-7.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.35x=5.4\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{5.4}{1.35}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{540}{135}=4$

hence, she ordered 4 toppings.

Which equation has the solution x = 3?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

2x + 4 = 10 = x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

09 - 31 = 0 (the variable x is not present in the given system)

0 +5=6 (the variable x is not present in the given system)

2x + 4 = 10 = x = 3

09-1=4 (the variable x is not present in the given system)

51 - 7 = 1 (the variable x is not present in the given system)

3x + 1 = 9 = x = 8/3

A.) If m 1 = 3x - 7, find x.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 and the angle opposite from Angle 1 (the angle that's 68°) are vertical angles.

What are vertical angles, you ask?

According to the Oxford dictionary, vertical angles are each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

For example, take the letter X. The letter X has two lines that intersect to form 4 angles. The top and bottom angles are a pair of vertical angles. So are the left and right angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

(This is VERY important to know! It will help you solve many types of geometry problems!)

m1 is 3x - 7. Because Angle 1 and the angle that's 68° are vertical angles, that means they are equal to each other.

Therefore: 3x - 7 = 68.

Now, you can solve for x to get x = 25.

Hope this helps!

Out of 50 basketball players trying to make a team, 5 will be chosen. 36 of the 50 are seniors and the remaining players are jun

AveGali [126]

Answer: 5503680

Step-by-step explanation:

The coach wants 2 senior out of 36 so he have

C₃₆,₂ = 36!/( 36 - 2 )! = 36*35*34!/34! = 36 * 35 = 1260

possibilities

Now he also wants 3 juniors out of 14

C₁₄,₃ = 14!/ (14- 3)! = 14*13*12*11!/11! = 14*13*12 = 2184

Now for each pair of senior (from 1260 outcomes) coach has 2184 possiblities therefore

Coach has

2184 * 1260 = 2751840 possibilities to choose from

Again as there are 2 senior to choose for captain we have to multiply by 2 to get the total ways the team could be

2751840*2 = 5503680
