Answer:

10(6) + 5x = 180

60 + 5x = 180

- 60 - 60

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The shipment contains a total of 180 pounds of potatoes. There are two types of bags of potatoes. One weighing 10 pounds and the other weighing 5 pounds. There are 6 bags of potatoes weighing 10 pounds each and x bags of potatoes weighing 5 pounds each. Two numbers can be added up to bring a total of 180 so we can write this equation as 10(6) + 5x = 180. This problem speaks of pounds in particular so that is why 10 and five go in front of the secondary numbers. After that, just solve. The steps are shown above. ^^^ If I am wrong, please let me know. I hope this helps! :D

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

principal P= $1800

time t= 1 year

Final amount A=1857.60

rate r=?

Step two:

we are expected to solve for the rate, let assume the investment is a simple interest type.

A=P(1+rt)

solve for r we can substitute our data

1857.60=1800(1+r*1)

1857.60=1800+1800r

1857.60-1800=1800r

57.6=1800r

r=57.6/1800

r=0.032

0.032*100= 3.2%

<u>This shows that the rate is 3.2%</u>

(50 POINTS) What is the length of YZ in Triangle XYZ? Explain two different methods that could be used to find this length.

LenKa [72]

<h3>First Method:</h3>

<u>Using cosine rule</u>:

$\rightarrow \sf cos(30 ) = \dfrac{YZ}{12}$

$\rightarrow \sf YZ = 12cos(30 )$

$\rightarrow \sf YZ = 6\sqrt{3}$

$\rightarrow \sf YZ = 10.4$

<h3>Second Method:</h3>

<u>First find XY using sine rule</u>:

$\rightarrow \sf sin(30)=\dfrac{XY}{12}$

$\rightarrow \sf XY = 12sin(30)$

$\rightarrow \sf XY =6$

Then use Pythagoras Theorem:

⇒ XY² + YZ² = XZ²

⇒ (6)² + YZ² = 12²

⇒ YZ² = 144 - 36

⇒ YZ = √108

⇒ YZ = 6√3

⇒ YZ = 10.4

2 tenths plus 4 hundredths equal --blank-- hundredths

kondaur [170]

2/10 is the same at 20/100 (because you times both top and bottom by 10)
20/100 + 4/100 = 24/100
This could be simplified to 12/50 or 6/25.
Hope this helps :)
