Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

(x-1)² + (x-2)² = x²

x²-2x+1 + x²-4x+4 = x²

reduce:

2x²-6x+5 = x²

subtract x² from each side:

x²-6x+5 = 0

(x-1)(x-5) = 0

x=1 but because shorter leg would be 0, a triangle would be impossible.

x=5

Studies show that the average American has $4,878 in credit card debt with an average interest rate of 12.78% compounded monthly
Molodets [167]

Answer:

$62,005.34

Step-by-step explanation:

If the interest rate is 12.78% compounded monthly, we can use the formula a = p(1+r/n)^nt

where a is the final value to be paid, p is the inicial value, r is the interest rate, n is the number of months in a year and t is the time in years

So, the total debt will be:

y = 4878 * (1+0.1278/12)^240 = $62,005.34
