Answer:

x = 16 and y = 121

Yes, its a long process.

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical angles are congruent given that: we do this

(4x-5)+(4x-5)+y+y=360

2(4x-5)+2y=360

divide both sides by 2

(4x-5)+y=180

distribute (there is an invisible 1 beside the parentheses of 4x-5)

4x-5+y=180

add 5 to both sides

4x+y = 185

subtract y from both sides

4x = 185-y

divide both sides by 4

x = (185-y)/4

note that (4x-5) is also EQUAL to (3x+11)

4x-5=3x+11

subtract 3x from both sides

x-5=11

add 5 to both sides

x = 16

Now that we know what x is, we can substitute it in the equation we got from 2(4x-5)+2y=360

Our equation was

x = (185-y)/4

16 = (185-y)/4

Multiply both sides by 4

64 = 185-y

Subtract 185 from both sides

-121=-y

multiply both sides by -1

121 = y

What is the area of this polygon?

STatiana [176]

You can divide the polygon into a triangle (VMR) and rectangle(VEDR)
VE=5
VR=6
The area for VEDR would be:
area= VE*VR= 5*6= 30

triangle height=3
VR=6
The area for VMR
area= 1/2 * 3 * 6= 9

Total area= 30 + 9 = 39

A biologist has been observing a tree's height. This type of tree typically grows by 0.22 feet each month. Fifteen months into t

Lyrx [107]

Data:

x: number of months

y: tree's height

Tipical grow: 0.22

Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)

In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.

m=0.22

To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 20.5=0.22(15)+b \\ 20.5=3.3+b \\ 20.5-3.3=b \\ 17.2=b \end{gathered}$

Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \\ y=0.22x+17.2 \end{gathered}$ A) This line's slope-intercept equation is: y=0.22x+17.2

B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:

$\begin{gathered} y=0.22(29)+17.2 \\ y=6.38+17.2 \\ \\ y=23.58 \end{gathered}$ Then, after 29 months the tree would be 23.58 feet in height

C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:

$\begin{gathered} 29.96=0.22x+17.2 \\ 29.96-17.2=0.22x \\ 12.76=0.22x \\ \frac{12.76}{0.22}=x \\ \\ 58=x \end{gathered}$ Then, after 58 months the tree would be 29.96feet tall

What is the balance after 15 years in a savings account that earns 2% interest compounded bimonthly when the initial deposit is

motikmotik

The amount will be equal to $1348.07. The correct option is A.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the interest levied on the interest. The formula for the calculation of compound interest is given as:-

$\rm A = P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Compound Interest Formula:

A = Account Balance

P = Principle/Initial Amount

r = Rate of Interest (decimal)

n = Number of times compounded (per year)

t = Number of Years

Given Information

Account Balance = ?

It is given that the balance after 15 years in a savings account earns 2% interest compounded bi-monthly when the initial deposit is 1000.

This is because we are gaining money, so the multiplier should be greater than 1. We already added 1, which is 100% so you simply add the 0.02 for the extra 2%.

Number of times compounded per year = 6

This is because it is being compounded bi-monthly, or once every 2 months. 12 months divided by 2 months is 6 months, so 6 times a year.

Number of years = 15

Solve by plugging the given values into the formula.

$\rm A = P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$\rm A = 1000(1+\dfrac{0.02}{6})^{6 \times 15}$

A = 1000 x (1.14)

A = $1348.07.

Therefore, the amount will be equal to $1348.07. The correct option is A.

A movie rental website charges $5.00 per month for membership and $1.25 per movie.

denis-greek [22]

To solve this problem, I would transfer this word problem into an equation with variables.

let the variable m stand for the amount of movies andrew rents.

5.00+1.25m=16.25

Now that we have our equation, we can just solve it like any other equation.
To do this, first, we would subtract 5.00 from both sides, resulting in the equation

1.25m=11.25

Next, we would divide both sides by 1.25, resulting in your final answer

m=9.

This means that Andrew rented 9 movies if his total was 16.25
