Answer:

$1307.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original investment be x.

Note that a 30% increase in a value is equal to multiplying a value by 130% and a withdrawal is to take out money. The final amount is $1500. Let’s write the equation with the information we have.

Equation:

130%x - 200 = 1500

(130/100)x = 1700

x = 1700(100/130) = $1307.69

I hope this helps! :)

Write four different expressions for the perimeter of a pentagon whose sides are all s-2 units long?
Masteriza [31]

Hey there!

1. 5(s-2) This is because s-2 is the length of each side, and there are 5 sides in a pentagon all of that length, so multiplying it by 5 like this shows its perimeter.

2. 5s-10 This can be found by distributing the first equation, multiplying both s and -2 by 5.

3. (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) Each grouping in the parenthesis represents each of the 5 sides, so adding them all together will get you the perimeter.

4. 5(s) + 5(-2) This one is most like the first one, except it's a little more spread out. Multiply the term s by the 5 sides in one grouping, and the integer -2 by 5 in the other.

Hope this helps!

You gave your little sister a good push on a swing and it made an arc of 12 ft. On the third swing it made an arc of 8.67 ft. Ho
jonny [76]
10.2 ft Ans.

We solve this using geometric series.

A1 = 12 ft
A2 = ?
A3 = 8.67ft
Now, for geomteric progression,

\frac{A1}{A2} =  \frac{A2}{A3} 




\frac{12}{A2} = \frac{A2}{8.67}

A2 * A2 = (A2)^{2}  =  \sqrt{12 * 8.67 } 
 
A2 = 10.2 ft
