Answer:

Number of stock A = 200

Number of stock B = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of stock A shares = a

Number of stock B shares = b

Worth of stock A = 50 * a = 50a

Worth of stock B = 60 * b = 60b

50a + 60b = 28000 - - - (1)

Triple the value of stock B:

3 * 60 = 180

Value of stock A goes up by 50%

(100 + 50)% * 50 = 1.5 * 50 = 75

75a + 180b = 69000 - - - (2)

50a + 60b = 28000

75a + 180b = 69000

Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract

150a + 180b = 84000

75a + 180b = 69000

75a = 15000

a = 15000/75

a = 200

75(200) + 180b = 69000

15000 + 180b = 69000

180b = 69000 - 15000

180b = 54000

b = 300

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The original area would be multiplied by the scale factor of 2² to get the new area.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you double the radius lets so lets do an example

(a=πr²) so

if x is the radius the area would be x²π      

double the radius so 2x then the area would be

(2x)²π so 4x²π

4x²π/x²π= 4 so its 4 times greater or

D the last answer or The original area would be multiplied by the scale factor of 2² to get the new area.

What is the slope of the line through (3,2) and (-3,4)?
NISA [10]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 4 )

m = \frac{4-2}{-3-3} = \frac{2}{-6} = - \frac{1}{3}
