A negative number in this wouldn't be applicable.
Johnny started out with $2,745 in the beginning, EARNING (This being the key word) interest each year. Therefore, he comes out with $39,974, not being a negative number.
Hope I helped! ^-^
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sum of all angles of a parallelogram is equal to 360 degrees, <Z + <Y is half of the parallelogram, and therefore <Z + <Y = 180 degrees.
16x-4 + 7x = 180, combine like terms
23x - 4 = 180, add 4 on both sides (isolate variable)
23x = 184, divide 23 on both sides
x = 8
20 = 2 x 2 x 5
15 = 3 x 5
common divisor (CD) of 20 and 15 is 5 so n should be 5 and each group has 4 boys and 3 girls.
If there are more than one CD, then there are more than one answer.
If they ask for the largest number of groups, greatest common divisor (GCD) will be the answer.
Because (4*3) + 3 = 15. Similary find the improper fraction for -2 1/2.
(15/4) / (-5/2) = -3/2
Convert -3/2 into a mixed fraction.
Therefore, -3/2 = -1 1/2.
