Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level

.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?

It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.
It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.
It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.
It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: A = 2500 (1.035)^n

A= $ 4,974.47

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P(1+r)^n

A= Amount

P= Principal

R= rate

N= # of years

A= 2500(1.035)^n

N=20

2500(1.035)^20

A= 4,974.47

Distance between parallel lines y=3x+10 and y=3x-20
Alecsey [184]

1. Take an arbitrary point that lies on the first line y=3x+10. Let x=0, then y=10 and point has coordinates (0,10).


2. Use formula d=\dfrac{|Ax_0+By_0+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}} to find the distance from point (x_0,y_0) to the line Ax+By+C=0.


The second line has equation y=3x-20, that is 3x-y-20=0. By the previous formula the distance from the point (0,10) to the line 3x-y-20=0 is:

d=\dfrac{|3\cdot 0-10-20|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2}}=\dfrac{30}{\sqrt{10}}=3\sqrt{10}.


3. Since lines y=3x+10 and y=3x-20 are parallel, then the distance between these lines are the same as the distance from an arbitrary point from the first line to the second line.


Answer: d=3\sqrt{10}.

The length of the rectangle is 7/(x-4) feet, while its width is 5/x feet. Find its perimeter. Please help asap!!!!! :(
damaskus [11]

The perimeter would be (24x - 40)/(x^2 - 4x).

In order to find this, first double the length and width as you would to find any perimeter.

7/(x - 4) * 2 = 14/(x - 4)

5/x * 2 = 10/x

Now to add those together, we need to give them common denominators. In order to do that with the first one, we need to multiply by x/x

14/(x - 14) * x/x = 14x/(x^2 - 14x)

Then we can do the same with the second part by multiplying by (x - 4)/(x - 4)

10/x * (x - 4)/(x - 4) = (10x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x)

Now we can add the two together

14x/(x^2 - 14x) + (10x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x) = (24x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x)
