Answer:

The cost of the system is $163 and The cost of the games is $489

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A video game system and several games are sold for $652

∵ The cost of the games is 3 times as much as the cost of the system

→ Assume that the cost of the system is $x

∵ The cost of the system = x

∴ The cost of the games = 3 × x = 3x

∵ The total cost of the system and the games = 652

→ Equate the sum of the cost of the system and the cost of the games

   by 652

∴ x + 3x = 652

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 4x = 652

→ Divide both sides by 4 to find x

∵ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{652}{4}

∴ x = 163

∵ The cost of the system = x

∴ The cost of the system is $163

∵ The cost of the games = 3x

∴ The cost of the games = 3(163) = 489

∴ The cost of the games is $489

Trella alcala deposited 1,950 in a new credit union savings account on the first of the quarter the principal earns 4.25 percent
mrs_skeptik [129]
Amount in compound interest = p(1 + r/t)^nt where p is the initial deposit, r = rate, t = number of compunding in a period and n = period.

Here, Amount after 6 months (0.5 year) = 1,950(1 + (4.25/100)/4)^(0.5 x 4) = 1,950(1 + 0.0425/4)^2 = 1,950(1 + 0.010625)^2 = 1,950(1.010625)^2 = 1,950(1.0213629) = $1,991.66

Compound interest = Amount - principal (initial deposit) = $1,991.66 - $1,950 = $41.66

Sketch the figure: Two different isosceles triangles with perimeter 4a + b
Nikitich [7]

The two triangles with the given perimeter is attached .

Perimeter is the sum of all sides.

For the first triangle , sies are  2a,2a and b.

So the perimeter is

Perimeter = 2a+2a+b
\\
Perimeter = 4a+b

For the second triangle, sides are a,a, and 2a+b. Therefore perimeter is

Perimeter = a+ a + 2a+b
\\
Perimeter = 4a+b

So for both triangles, perimeter is

4a+b
