Kris is setting up tables for an awards banquet. Each table seats 16 people. What is the fewest number of tables

Solve: -18 = -3x + 6

Stella [2.4K]

Let's start by moving all like terms to their own sides:

-18 = -3x + 6

3x = 6 + 18

3x = 24

x = 8

Based on the diagram shown, find θ to the nearest degree.

sattari [20]

Answer:

θ = 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower right triangle is congruent to the upper left triangle, so we have θ and 20° being the two acute angles in the triangle. The law of sines tells you ...

sin(θ)/9 = sin(20°)/5

sin(θ) = (9/5)sin(20°)

θ = arcsin(9/5·sin(20°)) ≈ 38°

___

Another solution to the triangle is θ = 180° -38° = 142°. The diagram clearly shows θ as an acute angle, so we take this second solution to be extraneous.

For his birthday, Tyrone's parents gave him $7,790.00 which they put into a savings account that earns 15% interest compounded m

torisob [31]

Answer:

5 years and 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />

<u>Compound Interest Formula</u>

$\large \text{$ \sf A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} $}$

where:

A = final amount
P = principal amount
r = interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times interest applied per time period
t = number of time periods elapsed

Given:

A = $17,474.00
P = $7,790.00
r = 15% = 0.15
n = 12
t = number of years

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for t:

$\implies \sf 17474=7790\left(1+\dfrac{0.15}{12}\right)^{12t}$

$\implies \sf \dfrac{17474}{7790}=\left(1.0125}\right)^{12t}$

$\implies \sf \ln\left(\dfrac{17474}{7790}\right)=\ln \left(1.0125}\right)^{12t}$

$\implies \sf \ln\left(\dfrac{17474}{7790}\right)=12t \ln \left(1.0125}\right)$

$\implies \sf t=\dfrac{\ln\left(\frac{17474}{7790}\right)}{12 \ln \left(1.0125}\right)}$

$\implies \sf t=5.419413037...\:years$

Therefore, the money was in the account for 5 years and 5 months (to the nearest month).

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 5 and passes through the point (2, -1)

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line is 2x - 3y = 7 ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the relation between the parallel lines

- If two lines are equal then their slopes are equal

- We can make an equation of a line by using its slope and

a point on the line

- If the slope of the line is m and passing through the point (x1 , y1),

then we can use this form [y - y1]/[x - x1] = m to find the equation

* Lets solve the problem

- The line is parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 5

∴ the slope of the line = the slope of the line 2x - 3y = 5

- Rearrange the terms of the equation to be in the form

y = mx + c to find the slope of it

∵ 2x - 3y = 5 ⇒ subtract 2x from both sides

∴ -3y = 5 - 2x ⇒ divide two sides by -3

∴ y = 5/-3 - 2x/-3 ⇒ y = 2/3 x - 5/3

∴ The slop of the line is 2/3

∵ The line passes through point (2 , -1)

* Lets use the rule to find the equation of the line

∵ y - (-1)/x - 2 = 2/3

∴ y + 1/x - 2 = 2/3 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3(y + 1) = 2(x - 2) ⇒ open the brackets

∴ 3y + 3 = 2x - 4 ⇒ put x an d y in one side

∴ 2x - 3y = 3 + 4

∴ 2x - 3y = 7

* The equation of the line is 2x - 3y = 7
