Envision this as a right triangle, with one leg of 12 miles, and the other 16 miles. Solve using the Pythagorean Theorem a²+b²=c²:
12²+16²=c²
400 = c²
20=c...they live at least 20 miles from each other.
Answer:
9.71 Only way I could think of to solve it
Step-by-step explanation:
10x-72=3x-4
7x=68
x=9.71
Answer: D) 18
Step-by-step explanation:
6 - x = -12
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-x = -18
Divide by -1 on both sides so as to isolate x.
x = 18
let the original price be x.
then,
x- 25% of x= 24
x- 25x/100 = 24
x- x/4=24
3x/4=24
3x= 96
x= 32
in short...the original price= 32 dollars
We need to use the formula for simple interest which is
I= prt
Where I is the amount of money you earned or pay in interest
p is the principal, the amount you deposited or borrowed
r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal
t is time in terms of years
In this problem, I= 1,680
p= 3000
t= 8
'. r is what we are looking for.
Substituting the numbers into the simple interest formula, we get
I=. p r t
1,680=(3000)(r)(8). Multiplying
1,680= 24,000r Divide both sides by 24,000
0.07= r
So, the percentage is (0.07)(100)= 7%...
