Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start simplifying:

Method 1:

5(x+5) = 10 Multiply parenthesis by 5

5x+25 = 10 Subtract 25 from both sides

5x = -15 Divide by 3 on both sides

x = -3

Method 2:

5(x+5) = 10 Divide by 5 on both sides

x+5 = 2 Subtract 5 from both sides

x = -3

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

5x + 25 = 10

Subtract 25 from both sides.

5x = -15

Divide to isolate the variable.

Answer:

The slopes of line m and p will be the same: 1/25 (I think thats what that says)

Step-by-step explanation:

when two lines are parallel it means they will never touch, and so they must have the same slope. If their slopes were different (even by 1 decimal), they would touch and so would no longer be parallel.

Answer:

Equation: y=1.5x+4 Will total $10 after 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Format: y=mx+b

y is total cost

m is per hour

b is starting cost

Equation: y=1.5x+4

After 4 hours, it will be $10 because:

10=1.5x+4

subtract 4 both sides

6=1.5x

divide 6 by 1.5

4=x

Hence the 4 hours answer

3. Bob the Builder wants to earn an annual rate of 10% on his investments,

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

He should pay $2,790.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time, in years.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

$T = E + P$
