A = Anthony's weight
B = Anthony's brother's weight

  A = 2B + 9   Plug in Anthony's weight
59 = 2B + 9   Subtract 9 from both sides
50 = 2B   DIvide both sides by B
25 = B   Switch the sides to make it easier to read
  B = 25

Anthony's brother weighs 25 pounds.

You have to substitute his brothers weight with a variable. Here are the steps:
1: What are you looking for?
-You are looking for how much his brother weighs.
2: Let's use the variable b to represent his brothers weight.
3: Anthony's weight is nine pounds more than twice his brothers weight. That means 2b+9. Since Anthony weighs 59 pounds, the answer is 2b+9= 59.

A fund earns a nominal rate of interest of 6\% compounded every two years. Calculate the amount that must be contributed now to
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$712.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a fund earns a nominal rate of interest of 6% compounded every two years. We are asked to find the amount that must be contributed now to have 1000 at the end of six years.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where,

A = Final amount,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,  

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.

6\%=\frac{6}{100}=0.06

Since interest is compounded each two years, so number of compounding per year would be 1/2 or 0.5.

1000=P(1+\frac{0.06}{0.5})^{0.5*6}

1000=P(1+0.12)^{3}

1000=P(1.12)^{3}

1000=P*1.404928

\frac{1000}{1.404928}=\frac{P*1.404928}{1.404928}

P=711.7802478

P\approx 712

Therefore, an amount of $712 must be contributed now to have 1000 at the end of six years.

The formula for converting Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit temperatures is a linear equation. Water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The formula y = mx + b sometimes appears with

different symbols.

For example, instead of x, we could use the

letter C. Instead of y, we could use the letter F.

Then the equation becomes

F = mC + b.

All temperature scales are related by linear

equations. For example, the temperature in

degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of degrees Celsius.

Water freezes at: 0°C, 32°F

Water Boils at: 100°C, 212°F

Hope this helps!
