Answer:

X=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=kX

20=15k

k=4/3

For X when Y=30

30=4/3×X

Cross multiply

4X=90

Brian invests ?1900 into a savings account. The bank gives 3.5% compound interest for the first 2 years and 4.9% thereafter. How

Scorpion4ik [409]

let's check how much is it after 2 years firstly.

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &1900\\ r=rate\to 3.5\%\to \frac{3.5}{100}\dotfill &0.035\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{yearly, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &2 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1900\left(1+\frac{0.035}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}\implies A=1900(1.035)^2\implies A=2035.3275$

Brian invested the money for 6 years, so now let's check how much is that for the remaining 4 years.

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &2035.3275\\ r=rate\to 4.9\%\to \frac{4.9}{100}\dotfill &0.049\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{yearly, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &4 \end{cases}$

$\bf A=2035.3275\left(1+\frac{0.049}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 4}\implies A=2035.3275(1.049)^4 \\\\\\ A\approx 2464.54\implies \boxed{\stackrel{\textit{rounded up }}{A=2465}}$

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with a side of 6 inches.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

9 $\sqrt{3}$ in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$ ( s is the length of a side )

Here s = 6, thus

A = $\frac{6^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$ = $\frac{36\sqrt{3} }{4}$ = 9 $\sqrt{3}$ in²

-20y + 15 = 2 - 16y + 11

shtirl [24]

In order to answer this, we will first need to combine like terms on each side. on the left, you can leave them alone. however on the right, we will need to combine 2 and 11. this is 13. the right side becomes 13-16y. after that, we can add 20y to both sides. that equals 15=13+4y now we can subtract 13 from both sides. 2=4y. then we divide by 4 on both sides to find y. y=.5
