Answer:

-20/3 & -40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that the 1st number is X and the 2nd number is Y.

Given that x:y = 1:2 => x/y = 1/2 => 2x = y

and a-5/y+4 = 5/4 (The first number is decreased by 5 and the second number is increased by 4.)

=> 4(x - 5) = 5 (y + 4)

=> 4x - 20 = 5y + 20

=> 4x - 5y = 40

As, 2x = y , 4x = 2y

=> 2y - 5y = 40

=> -3y = 40

=> y = -40/3 ; x = y/2 = -20/3

This might be confusing but I hope this helps :)

elixir [45]

Answer:

  • S(t) = 149999(1.06)^t
  • $225543

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Initial value is $149999
  • Increase rate is 6% per year = 1.06 times

<u>The model of the growth is:</u>

  • S(t) = 149999(1.06)^t, where S- amount of annual sales, t- time in years, 1.06- growth rate per year

<u>Annual sales after 7 years:</u>

  • S(7) = 149999(1.06)^7 = $225543

What is the value of k used to find the coordinates of a point that partitions a segment into a ratio of 5:3. Please Explain.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....

You order a new pair of running shoes from a website that offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Your shoes cost $69.95.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: x > 75-69.95; you need five dollars and five cents more for free shipping ($5.05)

Step-by-step explanation: i believe this is the correct answer because as long as you have 75 dollars or more, then you will be good so that’s how i got the inequality. to find this you just subtract the amount needed (75) by the amount you have and you get your answer. oh and to be clear x represents the amount needed for free shipping. i am not sure if i understood the problem correctly so i apologize if it is incorrect. i hope this helped and good luck!
