This is a compound interest problem so you cannot use the simple interest formula. Effectively the total amount is being compounded each year by 6%. There is a formula for compound interest but in this simple example you can work this out recursively.
year 1 = 6500
year2 = 6500*1.06 = 6890
year3 = 6890*1.06 = 7303
year4 = 7303*1.06 = 7741..
etc......
year12 = 11604*1.06 = 12338
Its D. x = 2, y = -8
6*2 + (-8) = 12 - 8 = 4
You know that there is a right angle which equals 90 degrees, you take 90 + 67 +37 which equals 194. You have 2 x's so it should equal 2x. Then you take 194 divided by 2, and you should have the answer to what x equals
Max mows a yard in 45 minutes and Jan takes twice as long mowing the same yard. If Max and Jan both work together, it will take approximately 30 minutes to for them both to mow the yard.
It take Max 1 minute to mow 1/45 of the yard.
It takes Jan 1 minute to mow 1/90 of the yard.
1/45+1/90 =3/90 = 1/30 of the yard can be mowed by both in just one minute. This is how to get the answer, 30 minutes.
No it is not reasonable because you need 186 inches of ribbon and 160 is not nearly enough
