Answer:

  • Marty is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>

  • 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
  • => 2x - 4 - 6
  • => 2x - 10

When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.

<u>Marty's mistake</u>

  • Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
  • He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.

A right triangle has an area of 98 square inches. If the triangle is not an Isosceles triangle, what are the all possible length
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The possible length of the triangle =

1) (1inches, 196inches)

2) (2incheq, 98inches)

3) (4inches , 49 inches)

4) (7 inches , 28 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the above Triangle is not an Isosceles Triangle

Hence, we assume it is a right angle triangle

The area of a triangle is = 1/2 × Base × Height

= let us represent Base and Height = x

Hence:

1/2 × x × x = 98

x² /2 = 98

Cross Multiply

x² = 98 × 2

x² = 196

Step 2

We find the factors of 196

1× 196 = 196 (1, 196)

2 × 98 = 196 (2, 98)

4 ×49 = 196 (4, 49)

7 × 28 = 196 (7, 28)

Therefore, all the possible length of the triangle =

1) (1inches, 196inches)

2) (2incheq, 98inches)

3) (4inches , 49 inches)

4) (7 inches , 28 inches)

after 6 months, $1.78 simple interest was earned on an investment of $890. what was the annual interest rate
umka21 [38]
First you have to double the simple interest to get the amount earned in 1 year. That gives $3.56 earned and a total balance of $893.56
r = (1/t)(A/P - 1)  t=time, A=amount of money with interest, P=amount invested
r = (1/1)((893.56/890) - 1) = 0.004
r = 0.004
 now convert to a decimal to get .04 = 4%
