Answer:

(-7,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

step one) solve one equation for x.

y=-3x

-3x/-3=y/-3

x=(-y/3)

step two) plug in x for the other original problem.

y=x-4

y=(-y/3)-4

step three) solve for y.

y=(-y/3)-4

y+4=(-y/3)-4+4

3*(y+4)=(-y/3)*3

3y+12=-y

(3y+12)-3y=-y-3y

12/-4=-4y/-4

y=-3

step four) plug in -3 for y and solve for x.

y=x-4

-3=x+4

-3-4=x+4-4

-7=x

Someone plz help on # 15 (idk what to do) :/

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2x-5= -20

move -5 to the other side

sign changes from -5 to 5

2x-5+5= -20+5

2x= -15

divide by 2 for both sides

2x/2= -15/2

cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and 2 and then becomes x

x= -15/2

The triangles below are similar because of the:

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

ΔABC and ΔXYZ are SIMILAR by SSS property of similarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS Similarity Theorem:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their CORRESPONDING SIDES are proportional.

In ΔABC and ΔXYZ, if $\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{AC}{XZ}$ , then △ABC∼△YZX

Here, in ΔABC and ΔXYZ

AB = 9, BC = x , AC = 12

Similarly, XY = 3, YZ = 2, ZX = 4

Here,

$\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{9}{3} = 3\\\frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{x}{2} \\\frac{Ac}{Xz} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

⇒ Corresponding sides are in the ratio of 3, if BC =6 units

Hence, if BC = 6 units, then the ΔABC and ΔXYZ are SIMILAR by SSS property of similarity.

Consider a home mortgage of $225,000 at a fixed APR of 4.5 % for 30 years. a. Calculate the monthly payment. b. Determine the

White raven [17]

The formula for the monthly payment.....

$M= \frac{P(1+r)^nr}{[(1+r)^n] -1}$ , where P = the principal amount, r = the monthly interest rate and n = the total number of months.

Here annual interest rate is given as 4.5%

So, the monthly interest rate $=\frac{4.5\%}{12}= 0.375\% = 0.00375$

Total number of months $= (30*12)months=360 months$

Also given that, the principal amount is $225000

a. So, the monthly payment will be.....

$M= \frac{P(1+r)^nr}{[(1+r)^n] -1}\\ \\ M= \frac{225000(1+0.00375)^3^6^0*0.00375}{(1+0.00375)^3^6^0 -1}\\ \\ M= \frac{225000(1.00375)^3^6^0*0.00375}{(1.00375)^3^6^0 -1} \\ \\ M \approx 1140$

Thus, the monthly payment will be approximately $1140

b. The total amount paid over the term of the loan will be: $\$ 1140*360 months = \$ 410400$

c. As the principal amount was $225000 , so the amount of interest $= (\$ 410400- \$ 225000)= \$ 185400$

So, the percentage of amount that is paid toward the principal $=\frac{225000}{410400}*100\% =54.82\%$

and the percentage of amount that is paid toward the interest $=\frac{185400}{410400}*100\%=45.18\%$
