Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the number , then

3n + 4 = n - 2 ( subtract n from both sides )

2n + 4 = - 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2n = - 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = - 3

The number is - 3

The annual interest rate of Mike's savings account is 4.8%, and simple interest is calculated monthly. What is the periodic inte
Reptile [31]

The correct option will be: d. 0.4%

For finding the periodic interest rate , we need to divide the annual interest rate by the number of times interest calculated in a year.

Here, the simple interest is calculated monthly, that means the number of times interest calculated in a year will be 12.

Annual interest rate is 4.8%

So, the periodic interest rate = \frac{4.8}{12}= 0.4%

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.

Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.

To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?

Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:

Hypotenuse^{2} = (Leg1)^{2} + (Leg2)^{2}

20^{2} =17^{2}+(Leg2) ^{2}

400=289+(Leg2)^{2}

400-289=(Leg2)^{2}

111=(Leg2)^{2}

by squaring both sides

Leg2=10.535

10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.

Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 5 by the denominator 4. Whole number 5 equally 5 * 4

4

= 20

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(4, 4) = 4. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 4 × 4 = 16. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 7
