Find the value of BC. HELP PLEASE!!

Masteriza [31]

It's an equilateral triangle, therefore

AB = BC = BA

We have the equation:

$\dfrac{3}{2}x-12=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\3x-24=1x-4\qquad\text{add 24 to both sides}\\\\3x=x+20\qquad\text{subtract x from both sides}\\\\2x=20\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x=10$

$BC=BA\to BC=\dfrac{1}{2}(10)-2=5-2=3$

<h3>Answer: BC = 3</h3>

Maya deposits $5000 into a checking account that pays 0.75% annual interest compounded monthly. What will be the balance after 8

Nana76 [90]

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$5000\\ r=rate\to 0.75\%\to \frac{0.75}{100}\dotfill &0.0075\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus twelve} \end{array}\dotfill &12\\ t=years\dotfill &8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=5000\left(1+\frac{0.0075}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 8}\implies A=5000(1.000625)^{96}\implies A\approx 5309.08$
