It's not perfectly clear, but you seem to be saying that each week, the
pond becomes 3% deeper than it was THE PREVIOUS WEEK.
If I'm reading that correctly, then the pond is 10-ft deep when the rainy
season begins, and after 'x' weeks later, the depth is
D = 10 (1.03)^x feet.
After 8 weeks, the depth is D = 10 (1.03)⁸ = 12.67 feet .
rounded to the nearest foot, D = 13 ft.
Answer:
74º
Step-by-step explanation:
- Ray TV bisects ∠RTS, so ∠RTV=∠STV=(16x-6)º
- We also know that ∠RTS=(26x+18)º
- So, (16x-6)º+(16x-6)º=(26x+18)º
- We don't need parenthesis, 16x-6+16x-6=26x+18
- Combine like terms, 32x-12=26x+18
- Add, 32x=26x+30
- Subtract, 6x=30
- Divide, x=5
- ∠RTV now is [16(5)-6]º=(80-6)º=74º
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
That was actually trickier than I thought it would be
I was looking for 4(x-4), but 4(x-2)(x+2) also works
Let x be the 1st odd number, and x+2 the second odd consecutive number:
(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
x² + 2x = 6(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 12x +12 - 1
And x² - 10x - 11=0
Solve this quadratic expression:
x' = [+10 +√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2 and x" = [+10 -√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2
x' = [10 + √144]/2 and x" = [10 - √64]/2
x' = (10+12)/2 and x" = (10-12)/2
x = 11 and x = -1
We have 2 solutions that satisfy the problem:
1st for x = 11, the numbers at 11 and 13
2nd for x = - 1 , the numbers are -1 and +1
If you plug each one in the original equation :(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
you will find that both generates an equlity
