Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that MY is the same length as XM according to definition of segment bisector. We can create an equation:

5x + 8 = 9x + 12

Minus 8 on both sides

5x = 9x + 4

-4 = 4x

x = -1

Now substitute both sides of the equation with -1 instead of x

-5 + 8 = -9x + 12

3 = 3

XY = MY + XM

XY = 3 + 3 = 6

Hope this helps :)

Have an awesome day!

Step 1

Given;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Principal(p)= \$375000} \\ \text{First rate = 8\%=}\frac{8}{100}=0.08 \\ \text{Second rate = 20\%= }\frac{20}{100}=0.2 \\ \text{Time}=\frac{90}{365}=\frac{18}{73} \end{gathered}$

Required; To find the difference in interest between the two periods.

Step 2

State the formula for simple interest

$A=P(1+rt)$

Step 3

Find the interest when the rate is 8%

$\begin{gathered} A=375000(1+(0.08\times\frac{18}{73}) \\ A=375000(1+\frac{36}{1825}) \\ A=\text{\$}382397.26 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the interest is given as;

$A-P=382397.26-375000=\text{\$}7397.26$

Step 4

Find the interest in 1980 with a 20% rate

$\begin{gathered} A=375000(1+(0.2\times\frac{18}{73}) \\ A=\text{\$}393493.15 \end{gathered}$

The interest is given as;

$A-p=393493.15-375000=\text{\$}18493.15\text{ }$

Step 5

Find the difference in interest between the two rates.

$\text{\$}18493.15-\text{\$}7397.26=\text{\$}11095.89$

Hence, the difference in interest between the two rates = $11095.89

Choose Yes or No to tell whether the expressions are equivalent. 1. 4(5c + 3) and 9c + 7 yes or no 2. 10f – 10 and 2(8f – 5) yes

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

1) No

2) No

3)Yes

4)No

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b + c) =a*b + a*c

1) 4(5c + 3) = (4*5c) + 4*3

= 20c + 12

2) 2(8f - 5) = (2*8f) - (2*5)

= 16f - 10

3) 3(4g + 7) = (3*4g) + (3*7)

= 12g + 21

YES

4) 6(4j - 6) =(6 * 4j) - (6*6)

= 24j - 36
