Answer:

a) 16 vehicles

b) (x + y) vehicles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to US traffic laws, bicycles are also considered to be vehicles since they are a mode of transport as they can attain speeds far more than humans walking.

Now, if there are 12 bicycles and 4 cars, it means;

Number of vehicles = 12 + 4 = 16 vehicles.

If there are x bicycles and y cars, it means;

Number of vehicles = (x + y) vehicles

The area of a triangle is 10 cm2. Its base is 3 cm less than twice its height. What is the height of the triangle?
stiv31 [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The height of the triangle = 4cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, area of the triangle = 10 cm^{2}

Let the height of the triangle be h cm

Given, the base b is 3 cm less than twice its height.

b = 2h - 3  ... (1)

By formula, area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2} bh .. (2)

substitute (1)in (2), we get

Area = \frac{1}{2} (2h-3) h

10 = \frac{1}{2} (2h-3) h

20 = 2h^{2} - 3h

2h^{2} - 3h - 20 = 0

solving the equation, we get x = 4, -2.5

The height of the triangle = 4cm

the annual interest on 17,000 investment exceeds the interest on an 11,000 investment by 308 . the 17,000is invested at a 0.4% h
solmaris [256]

keeping in mind that

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

x =  percent rate for the 17000 investment.

y = percent rate for the 11000 investment.


so the amount for the 17000 interest will just be (x/100) * 17000, or namely 170x.

and the amount of interest earned for the 11000 is (y/100) * 11000, or just 110y.

now, regardless of what "x" and "y" are, we know that the interest from the 17000 is higher by 308 bucks, therefore 170x = 110y + 308.

we also know that the rate of <u>x</u> is higher as well than <u>y</u> by 0.4%, so then x = y + 0.4.


\bf \begin{cases} 170x=110y+308\\ \boxed{x}= y +0.4\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 170\left( \boxed{y+0.4} \right)=110y+308 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 170y+68=110y+308\implies 60y=240\implies y=\cfrac{240}{60}\implies \blacktriangleright y=\stackrel{\%}{4} \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ x=y+0.4\implies \blacktriangleright x=\stackrel{\%}{4.4} \blacktriangleleft
