Answer:

8 inches, and 48 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x=56

Solve the equation.

7x=56

x=8

Interpret the results and write the answer in words.

The smaller piece is x = 8 in.

The longer piece is 6x = 6 (8) = 48 in.

The lengths of the two pieces are 8 in

and 48 in.

Answer:

8 inches

48 inches

total 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x = 56

7x = 56

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 56/7

x = 8

The smaller piece is x inches or 8 inches

The larger piece is 6x inches or 6*8 =48 inches

8+48 = 56 inches

The total length is 56 inches

Use the following information for problems 1 – 3. Suppose you sign a contract for an annual salary of $50,000 with a guaranteed
erik [133]

Initial salary =  $50,000 .

Rate of raise = 5% each year.

Therefore, each next year salary would be 105% that is 1.05 times.

5% of 50,000 = 0.05 × 50000 = 2500.

Therefore raise is $2500 each year.

According to geometric sequence first term 50000 and common ratio 1.05.

Applying geometric sequence formula

a_n = ar^{n-1}

1) a_n = 50000(1.05)^{n-1}

2) In order to find salary in 5 years we need to plug n=5, we get

a_5 = 50000(1.05)^{5-1}= 50000(1.05)^4

= 50000(1.21550625)

<h3>=$60775.3125.</h3>

3) In order to find the total salary in 10 years we need to apply sum of 10 terms formula of a geometric sequence.

S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}

Plugging n=10, a = 50000 and r= 1.05.

S_10 = \frac{50000(1-(1.05)^{10}}{1-1.05}

S_10 = \frac{50000(0.050)^{10}}{0.05}

= 628894.62678.

<h3>Therefore , you will have earned $ 628894.62678 in total salary by the end of your 10th year.</h3>
