Answer:
(1/2)s = 345
s = 690 (Maggie's savings balance)
Step-by-step explanation:
For any problem, word problem or otherwise, you start be reading and understanding the problem. You should specifically look for
- what you're being asked to find (what is the question to answer)
- the information you're given that is relevant to the question asked.
Here, you're asked to find a savings account balance. You're told that $345 is half that amount.
__
After you decide what you're looking for and the given relevant information, you use the problem statement and your personal knowledge to write one or more equations relating what you know to what you want to find.
A first step for doing this is to define any necessary variables. In this problem, we can use "s" for the original savings balance (in dollars). (I like to choose letters that remind me what they stand for. "x" or "y" can sometimes get mixed up. For a one-variable problem, it doesn't really matter what you call it. It is helpful to be clear about the units of measure of any variables. Confusion there can also lead to errors.)
The problem statement tells us that half the savings account amount is $345, so our equation is ...
(1/2)s = 345
__
The "one step" required to solve this so to multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
s = 690
Maggie had $690 in her savings account before she bought the computer.

Answer:
oh 21
Step-by-step explanation:
1 times 12 is 12 and 3/4 times 12 is 36/4 =9. 9 plus 12 is 21
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the missing side that is 1/2 the side of the missing heptagon. You have to assume that the figure is a regular heptagon, something you should point out to your teacher. Math really requires well qualified diagrams.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 2.77
a = 2.5
b = 1/2 the side of the heptagon.
2.77^2 = 2.5^2 + b^2
7.6729 =6.25 + b^2
7.5629 - 6.25 = b^2
b^2 = 1.4229
b = sqrt(1.4229)
b = 1.1928
But the side is twice that long
s = 2.3857
Now draw another line from the side you just found. It will be the same length as 2.77. It's a radius of the circumcircle.
Area of the triangle so formed is
Area = 1/2 * b * h
b = 2.3857
h = 2.5
Area = 1/2 * 2.5 * 2.3857
Area = 2.982
There are 7 such triangles.
Answer: 7 * 2.982
Answer: 20.87
<span>(104+ 137+ 154 +131+x )/5= 130
526 + x = 650
x = 650 - 526
x = 124
