There are two unknowns in this problem. To start, let's assign variables to each of them. Let x be the age of Jacob and y be the age of Isaiah. Then, we formulate equations based on the relationships stated.

x = 7 + y   --> eqn 1
x + y = 63  --> eqn 2

Substituting eqn 1 to eqn 2, then solve for x and y:

(7+y)+y = 63
7 + 2y = 63
2y = 63 - 7
2y = 56
y = 56/2
y = 28
x = 28 + 7 = 35

Therefore, Jacob is 35 years old, and Isaiah is 28 years old.

A savings account compounds interest, at a rate of 22%, once a year. George puts $750 in the account as the principal. How can G
Umnica [9.8K]
George shouldn't think too far.

He should use the formula for Compound Interest.

Amount in compound interest, A = P(1+ r/100)ⁿ.

Where A = Amount, P = Principal, r is the rate per year, n = number of years.

Note: the expression (1+ r/100) is raised to power  n.     

From George's problem: P = 750,    r = 22,  I guess number of years , n = x

A(x) = 750( 1 + 22/100)ˣ

A(x) = 750( 1 + 0.22)ˣ 

From your options I can't see an answer. Except the expression of option (A) is actually raised to power x, and not times x as stated in the option.

Answer:

x = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

law of cosines:

x² = b² + c² - 2ac · cosX

x² = 5² + 8² - 2(5 · 8) · cos 55°

x² = 25 + 64 - 80· cos 55°

x² = 25 + 64 - 45.89

x² = 89 - 45.89

x² = 43.11

x = √43.11

x ≈ 6.6
