Answer:

a) Number of projects in the first year = 90

b) Earnings in the twelfth year = $116500

Total money earned in 12 years = $969000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of projects done in fourth year = 129

Number of projects done in tenth year = 207

There is a fixed increase every year.

a) To find:

Number of projects done in the first year.

This problem is nothing but a case of arithmetic progression.

Let the first term i.e. number of projects done in first year = a

Given that:

a_4=129\\a_{10}=207

Formula for n^{th} term of an Arithmetic Progression is given as:

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Where d will represent the number of projects increased every year.

and n is the year number.

a_4=129=a+(4-1)d \\\Rightarrow 129=a+3d .....(1)\\a_{10}=207=a+(10-1)d \\\Rightarrow 207=a+9d .....(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1):

78 = 6d\\\Rightarrow d =13

By equation (1):

129 =a+3\times 13\\\Rightarrow a =129-39\\\Rightarrow a =90

<em>Number of projects in the first year = 90</em>

<em></em>

<em>b) </em>

Number of projects in the twelfth year =

a_{12} = a+11d\\\Rightarrow a_{12} = 90+11\times 13 =233

Each project pays $500

Earnings in the twelfth year = 233 \times 500 = $116500

Sum of an AP is given as:

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\Rightarrow S_{12}=\dfrac{12}{2}(2\times 90+(12-1)\times 13)\\\Rightarrow S_{12}=6\times 323\\\Rightarrow S_{12}=1938

It gives us the total number of projects done in 12 years = 1938

Total money earned in 12 years = 500 \times 1938 = $969000

SOLUTION

From the question given the following statements to prove are correct, then the last part

\Delta RSU\cong\Delta TSV

The reason is Side-side-side triangle theorem

This theorem states that all three sides of a triangle are congruent (identical) to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the triangles themselves are also congruent.

Hence the answer is Side-side-side triangle theorem

There is 6 7/8 cups now i take 2 5/8 away how many is left ?
REY [17]

left means subtracting

6 7/8 - 2 5/8

Whole numbers subtract each other

Numerators subtract each other

The denominators stay the same.

6-2= 4

7-5=2

4 2/8

Reduce 2/8. Divide by 2. 2/2= 1, 8/2= 4

4 2/8=4 1/4

Answer: 4 2/8 = 4 1/4 cups left

500=100(x-1)<br> Someone tell me step by step
Andre45 [30]
First, distribute the 100 to the (x-1) portion:
500 = 100x - 100

then, add 100 to both sides of your equation to get “x” alone on the right side:
500 + 100 = 100x - 100 + 100
600 = 100x

next, divide 100x by 100 and 600 by 100 to isolate a singular “x”:
600/100 = 100x/100
6 = x

therefore, x=6 is your solution

Estimate what is 130% of 20. Show work please! I need the right answer!
aksik [14]
26 would 130% of 26%. 

20 would be 100% of itself leading us to X being 130%. 
That brings us to two equations of 20=100% and x=130%
20/x=100%/130%

20/x=100/130
(20/x)*x=(100/130)*x
20=0.769230769231*x
26/0.769230769231=x
26=x therefor x=26
