Answer:
1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
The required ratio will be ,
7:21
= 1 :3
BC = 18
AB = AC, hence
8x - 4 = 5x + 11 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
3x - 4 = 11 ( add 4 to both sides )
3x = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 5
BC = 4x - 2 = (4 × 5 ) - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18
So basically he is paying 11.75% of the 3250 dollars in interest. So it’s 3250+(11.75% of 3250)
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and y.
x - 8 = y --(1)
5x = 2y - 8 --(2)
sub (1) into (2):
5x = 2(x - 8) - 8
5x = 2x - 24
3x = -24
x = -8
sub x = -8 into (1):
y = -8 - 8 = -16
first number is -8 and second number is -16.
