Answer:

15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of weeks = x.

At the end of x weeks,

Jeremy has 120 + 14x,

and Katie has 180 + 10x

We want to know when their amounts are equal.

120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

4x = 60

x = 15

Answer: 15 weeks

Answer:

15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following information:

<u>Jeremy</u>

  • Starts with $120
  • Adds $14 every week to his account

<u>Katie</u>

  • Stars with $180
  • Adds $10 every week to her account

Let the parameter (x) represent the number of weeks passed. Parameter (y) is the amount in the account, (S) represents the amount in the account to start with and (A) represents the amount added to the account every week. One can use the following general equation to represent the situation:

y = S + Ax

Substitute the given information into the equation for each person:

Jeremy: y = 120 + 14x

Katie: y = 180 + 10x

One is asked to find the point in time when the two account have the same amount of money. Therefore, set the two equations equal to each other and solve:

y = 120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

Inverse operations,

120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

4x = 60

x = 15

15 weeks will pass before Katie and Jeremy have the same amount of money in their accounts.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Refer to step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

12.  x = 28

BC = x

AB = 96

AC = 100

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of x.

a² + b² = c²

x² + 96² = 100²

x² + 9216 = 10000

x² = 10000-9216

x² = 784

√x² = √784

x = 28

13. x = 64

a² + b² = c²

48² + x² = 80²

2304 + x² = 6400

x² = 6400 - 2304

x² = 4096

√x² = √4096

x = 64

14. YES and 25 = 25

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = 5²

9 + 16 = 25

25 = 25

So this means that AB is tangent to the circle.

15. NO and 45 ≠ 49

a² + b² = c²

3² + 6² = 7²

9 + 36 = 49

45 = 49

So this means the AB is not tangent to the circle.

16. x = 4.5 and P = 52

To find the value of x, we need to determine the value of our hypotenuse.

QU is congruent to QT, therefore, QT = 4

UR is congruent with SR, therefore, UR = 13

PS is congruent to AB, therefore:

2x = 9

Divide both sides by 2

x = 4.5

The perimeter of a triangle is:

P = a + b + c

a = 9 + 4 or 13

b = 2(4.5) + 13 or 22

c = 4 + 13 or 17

P = 13 + 22 + 17

P = 52

17. x = 13 and P = 72

TJ is congruent to UJ, therefore, TJ = 13

x = 13

The perimeter of a parallelogram is:

P = 2(a+b)

a = HR + RK

b = KU + UJ

a = 13 + 5 or 18

b = 5 + 13 or 18

P = 2(18 + 18)

P = 2(36)

P = 72

18. x = 8 and P = 80

We know that part of the whole of 26 is 18 because one side is congruent to 18.

to find the value of the other half, we simply subtract 18 from 26.

26 - 18 = 8

x is congruent to 8, therefore x = 8

The line segment 14 is congruent to the opposite segment of x, therefore making the value 14.

So then we have:

a = 8 + 14 or 22

b = 26

c = 18 + 14 or 32

P = a + b + c

P = 22 + 26 + 32

P = 80

19. x = 6 and P = 52

Now we have the case of x + 2 is congruent to 8.

x + 2 = 8

Combine like terms.

x = 8 - 2

x = 6

Now that we have the value of x, we can simply look for the value of the line segment attached to it.

4 is congruent to the line segment attached to x + 2, therefore the value is 4.

To find the perimeter we have to add all sides together.

P = (8+5)+(5+9)+(9+4)+(8+4)

P = 52

20. x = 5, y = 2, z =10, and P = 68

Let's take this one step at a time.

First we look for x.

2x + 2 = 3x - 3

Combine like terms.

2x - 3x = -3 - 2

-x = -5

Divide both sides by -1.

x = 5

Now let's get the value of y.

5y - 2 = 3y + 2

Combine like terms.

5y - 3y = 2 + 2

2y = 4

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 2

Now let's look for z.

34 - 2z = z + 4

Combine like terms.

-2z - z = 4 - 34

-3z = -30

Divide both sides by -3.

z = 10

Now that we have the values of x, y, and z. We can substitute them to find the values of our segments.

2x + 2

2(5) + 2 = 12

3x - 3

3(5)-3 = 12

5y - 2

5(2) - 2 = 8

3y + 2

3(2) + 2 = 8

z + 4

10 + 4 = 14

34 - 2z

34 - 2(10)

34 - 20 = 14

Now that we have our values let's look for our perimeter.

P = a + b + c

P = (12 + 8) + (12 + 14) + (14 + 8)

P = 20 + 26 + 22

P = 68

weeeeeb [17]
We are asked to solve for the interest during the year given that it is compounded monthly, we are given with the formula A = P(1+r)^n. The solution is shown below:
A = P (1+r)^n
A = $5,000 (1+ 3.5/12)^(12*1)
A = $5,000 (1.000292)^12
A = $5,177.84
