The area of the square is : A = 25
Return rate, r = 3% = 0.03
x = initial investment
b = final balance
After 1 year, the balance i
b = initial investment + interest
b = x + r*x = (1 + r)*x
Because r = 0.03,
b = 1.03x (after 1 year)
(36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" +z) /4 = 36 5/8"
This is the equation that you would get for the average. Now we just solve for z.
Following PEMDAS you have to mulitply the equation by 4 to get rid of the divide by 4 part.
4( (36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" +z) /4 = 36 5/8)
Which does this
36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" +z = 146 1/2"
Now you have to add and subtract to get "z" by itself.
36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" = 110 5/8"
(110 5/8" + z = 146 1/2" ) -110 5/8"
z= 35 7/8", so the answer is b
4x - 2y = 5
4x - 4x - 2y = -4x + 5
-2y = -4x + 5
-2 -2
y = 2x - 2¹/₂
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 4 = 2(x - 3)
y - 4 = 2(x) - 2(3)
y - 4 = 2x - 6
+ 4 + 4
y = 2x - 2
The Ostrich will take 64 minutes to cover 40 miles.
Data;
- rate = 25 miles in 40 minute
<h3>Rate</h3>
To calculate the time it will take the ostrich to cover 40 miles, we have to compare it with the rate (speed).

Cross multiply both sides

simplify the value

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

From the calculations above, it would take the ostrich 64 minutes to cover 40 miles.
