Answer:

x =20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve.  Take the smaller triangle side on top and the larger triangle side on the bottom.

11                 10

---------- = --------------

11+121             10 +5x+10

Combine like terms

11                 10

---------- = --------------

132             5x+20

Using cross products

11*(5x+20) = 10*132

55x+220 = 1320

Subtract 220 from each side

55x+220-220 = 1320-220

55x = 1100

Divide by 55

55x/55= 1100/55

x =20

Lou has an account with $10,000 which pays 6% interest compounded annually. if to that account, lou deposits $5,000 at the begin
Tems11 [23]

ince the problem is only asking for 4 years, we can just calculated it out year by year. Recall the formula for compounding interest: A = P(1+r)n, where A is the total amount, P is the principle (amount you start with), r is the interest rate per period of time, and n is the number of periods (in this case, r is annual interest rate, so n is number of years). At the beginning (Year 0), Lou starts off with 10000: A = 10000 At the end of Year 1, Lou earned interest on that amount, plus he has deposited another 5000: A = 10000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 2, Lou's interest from the year 0 amount has compounded, he has started earning interest on the amount deposited last year, and he deposits another 5000: A = 10000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 3, same idea. Lou has earned compounding interest on all existing deposits, and deposits another 5000: A = 10000(1.08)3 + 5000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 4, same idea: A = 10000(1.08)4 + 5000(1.08)3 + 5000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 = 36135.45
