Answer:
Part A: chosen method is by factoring
Part B: First rewrite the equation by writing -24 as a difference so you get x² -9x - 15x + 135 = 0. Then factor out the x and the -15 from the equation so you get x(x-9) - 15(x-9) = 0. Then factor out x-9 from the equation so you have (x-9)(x-15) = 0. Finally, set each expression to 0: x-9=0 and x-15=0 and then solve: x=9 and x=15
Part C: x=9, x=15
Since 1 ton is 2,000 lbs, each Crib Jack can life 30,000 lbs. It's going to take 2 Crib Jacks, because the extra 5,000 lbs in belongings were removed, leaving the house at a weight of 60,000 lbs.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>1st year</em>:
(1200 x 3.5 x 1) ÷ 100 = $42
<em>2nd year:</em>
(1242 x 3.5 x 1) ÷ 100= $43.47
<em>3rd year:</em>
(1285.47 x 3.5 x 1) ÷ 100= $44.99≈ $45
<em>4th year:</em>
(1330.47 x 3.5 x 1) ÷ 100= $46.56
Compound interest:
$(42 + 43.47 + 45 + 46.56)
=<u>$ 177.03</u>
3 cm since the end is closer to the 3 than it is to 4
The answer would be y=(7/4)x-2. You just use reverse operations.
