Answer:Hope This Helps ☺️

Step-by-step explanation:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CASE 1: substitute 1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (1) - 5)+ 2(1-3) = - (-1) + 2(-2) = 1 - 4 = -3

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(1) - 5 = -2-5 = -7

Hence for x= 1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because -3 ≠ -7

CASE 2: substitute -1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (-1) - 5)+ 2(-1-3) = - (-9) + 2(-4) = 9 - 8 = 1

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(-1) - 5 = 2-5 = -3

Hence for x= -1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because 1 ≠ -3

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

Suppose that you would like to buy a home priced at $200,000. You plan to make a payment of 10% of the purchase price and pay 1.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

When you must do the same tedious calculation several times with different numbers, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet program do it for you. Here, the spreadsheet function PMT( ) computes the payment amount for the given interest rate, number of payments, and loan amount.

The loan amount is 90% of the purchase price.

The total interest over the life of the loan is the sum of the payments less the original loan amount.

The total monthly payment is the sum of the loan payment and the monthly escrow amount, which is 1/12 of the annual escrow amount.

_____

Here, we computed the total of payments using the unrounded "exact" value of each payment. We take this to be a better approximation of the total amount repaid, since the last payment always has an adjustment for any over- or under-payment due to rounding.

2. The hundredths model is shaded to represent a division

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

If the whole grid is considered to be 1,

Each small grid will value = $\frac{1}{100}=0.01$

There are 72 shaded grids which represent the hundreds = 0.72

When these grids have been divided into 9 equal rows, number of grids in each row = 8

And the value of 8 grids in each row = 0.01 × 8 = 0.08

So the equation is,

0.72 ÷ 9 = 0.08

Therefore, equation represented by the model will be Option (D).

What is the length of s?

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use trigonometry to solve this problem.

We see that the side provided is the hypotenuse and the side we are looking for is opposite to the angle provided. Thus, we will use sin since sin uses opposite/hypotenuse.

Now we solve.

sin45 = x/14

sin45 * 14 = x

x = 9.899494936611665
