Answer:
5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2(w + l)
P = 34
l = w + 7
34 = 2 (w + w + 7)
34 = 2w + 2w + 14
34 - 14 = 4w
20 = 4w
w = 5 feet
Since l = w + 7
l = 5 + 7
l = 12 feet
Answer:
5 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
7 1/2 hours equates to 450 minutes total
2/3 of 450 = 300 total minutes
turning the minutes back into hours, 300 / 60 = <u>5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The congruent angles of the isocels triangle's opposite sides's are congruent.
<span>Simplifying
2x + 18y = 36
Solving
2x + 18y = 36
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 18y + -18y = 36 + -18y
Combine like terms: 18y + -18y = 0
2x + 0 = 36 + -18y
2x = 36 + -18y
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 18 + -9y
Simplifying
x = 18 + -9y</span>
Answer:
<em>Lisa borrowed $8,500</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Interest
</u>
Occurs when the interest is calculated on the original principal of a loan only.
Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the old principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.
The interest earned is calculated as follows:
I=Prt
Where:
I = Interest
P = initial principal balance
r = interest rate
t = time
Lisa took out a loan for t=5 months and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of r=4.8% = 0.048. She paid interest for I=$170.
We need to convert the time to years (there are 12 months per year):
t = 5 /12 years.
The formula must be solved for P:

Substituting:
