Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (&Roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

First, add 6 to both sides of the equation:

-5x - 6 = 29

-5x - 6 (+6) = 29 (+6)

-5x = 29 + 6

-5x = 35

Next, divide -5 from both sides of the equation:
(-5x)/-5 = (35)/-5

x = 35/-5

x = -7

-7 is your answer for x.

What is the simple interest earned on $7550 at a 3.9% interest rate for 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Maslowich

I'm going to assume the rate, 3.9%, is for one year.

7550 * 3.9 * 6 = $176, 670 is the simple interest earned in 6 years with a rate of 3.9% per year.

Since you have the formula, why don't you do it yourself?

Ann and Tom want to establish a fund for their grandson's college education. What lump sum must they deposit at an 8.2% annual

GaryK [48]

Compound interest formula = a=P(1+r/n)^nt

P= lump sum to deposit (solving for)

A= amount accumulated over the entire time (20000)

n= number of times interest is compounded annually (1)

r= rate of interest (0.82)

T= total number of years (15)

20000=P(1+0.082/1)^1*15

20000=P(1.082)^15
20000=P(3.26143638)
20000/3.26143638=P
P=$6132.2674

A tree struck by lightning in a storm breaks and falls over to form a triangle with the ground. The tip of the tree makes a 36°

liraira [26]

Answer: approximately 49 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the tree is shown in the attached photo. The tree fell with its tip forming an angle of 36 degrees with the ground. It forms a right angle triangle,ABC. Angle C is gotten by subtracting the sum of angle A and angle B from 180(sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).

To determine the height of the tree, we will apply trigonometric ratio

Tan # = opposite/ adjacent

Where # = 36 degrees

Opposite = x feets

Adjacent = 25 feets

Tan 36 = x/25

x = 25tan36

x = 25 × 0.7265

x = 18.1625

Height of the tree from the ground to the point where it broke = x = 18.1625 meters.

The entire height of the tree would be the the length of the fallen side of the tree, y + 18.1625m

To get y, we will use Pythagoras theorem

y^2 = 25^2 + 18.1625^2

y^2 = 625 + 329.88

y^2 = 954.88

y = √954.88 = 30.9 meters

Height of the tree before falling was

18.1625+30.9 = 49.0625

The height of the tree was approximately 49 feets
