Is currency truly a storehouse of value? Unfortunately money can, and usually does, lose its value over time.

I met a man who said, if you can guess my age, I will pay you one dollar for each year that I have lived . I will also give you

Vladimir79 [104]

He could be 40321 years old.
If you divide 40321 by any odd or even number between 1 and 9, the remainder is 1.

I got this number by doing (2*3*4*5*6*7*8) + 1

90 turns

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of turns

A/B = 20/30 = 2/3

If A = 60 then the ratio is

60/B = 2/3 ⇒ B = 60*3/2 = 90

How do you solve it?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

i: x=-2, x=1

ii: x=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic form:

You solve i by using FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) because it is a multiplication problem.

$(x+2)(x-1)=0$

"first" would be $x*x$ , which would equal $x^{2}$

"outside" would be $x*-1$ , which would equal $-1x, or -x$

"inside" would be $2*x$ , which would equal $2x$

"last" would be $2*-1$ , which would equal $-2$

Now you need to combine the terms so that they are one after the other

$x^{2}-x$ $+2x-2$

Combine like terms, and you should get:

$x^{2} +x-2$

i Solution

You need to get the variable by itself.

Subtract two from both sides

$x+2=0\\x=-2$

Add one to both sides.

$x-1=0\\x=1$

ii Solution

Add all the terms.

$x+2+x-1=0\\2x+1=0\\2x=-1\\x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Kathi and Robert Hawn had a pottery stand at the annual Skippack Craft Fair. They sold some of their pottery at the original pri

grigory [225]

Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.

63 pieces were sold at the new price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.

Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.

They sold some of their pottery at the original price of $9.50 for each piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x

They later decreased the price of each piece by $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5

This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y

If they sold all 90 pieces and took in $729, then the equations are

x + y = 90

9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729

855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729

- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855

- 2y = - 126

y = - 126/- 2 = 63

Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes

x = 90 - 63 = 27

If is a segment bisector of and AB = 17, find AP.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

B. 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a segment bisector which means the other line bisects the direct middle of AB. 17/2 is 8.5, meaning that AP should be 8.5
