Answer:

26.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because 26.7/20 = (16+26.7)/32

When two triangles are similar, it means their sides are also proportional. The reason why it is not ten is because you need to add 10 to 16 to the large triangle as well, which no longer makes it proportional.

To solve, you create a formula.

(16+x)/32=x/20

Multiply both sides by 32 to get rid of the 32 in the left side.

16+x=32x/20

Multiply both sides by 20 to get rid of the 20 right side.

320+20x=32x

-20x on both sides to get all the variables on one side and all the nukbers on the other.

320=12x

Divide both sides by 12 to get x by itself

x=26.66667

Answer:

3.5 X 10^4 < 2.1 x 10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 X 10^4 < 2.1 x 10^6

The first thing we look at is the exponent

10 ^4 is less than 10^6

10000 < 1000000

If the exponents are the same, then we look at the numbers out front

If you invested $500 at 5% simple interest for 2 years, how much interest do you earn? Show work and answer in

givi [52]

Answer:

$50

$30.88

I will invest in simple interest as the interest there is more.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invested $500 at 5% simple interest for 2 years, then the interest that I will get will be given by the formula

$I = P \times \frac{rt}{100}$ , where P is the invested principal, r is the APR and t is the time in years.

So, in our case, $I = 500 \times \frac{5 \times 2}{100} = 50$ dollars. (Answer)

Now, if I invest $500 at 3% compound interest compounded monthly for 2 years.

Now, using the formula of compound interest we have

$I = P(1 + \frac{r}{n \times 100} )^{tn} - P$ , where r is the APR and n is the number of times in a year the principal is compounded.

In our case, $I = 500(1 + \frac{3}{12 \times 100} )^{2 \times 12} - 500 = 30.88$ dollars. (Answer)

Therefore, I will invest in simple interest as the interest there is more. (Answer)

Which classification best describes the following system of equations? X=5, y=6, -x-y+z=0

PolarNik [594]

I don't see any answer choices, but because it already gives you x and y, all you have to do is plug them into the equation.
-(5)-(6)+z=0
combine like terms
-11 + z = 0
add 11 to both sides
z = 11 is your answer
