Answers

Answer:x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute -5 to x+4 so -5•x and -5•4 get you -5x and -20 then bring every thing down

Now you have

-12-5x-20=3x

Then combine like terms which are -12 and -20 giving you -32

-32-5x=3x and 5 to bot side now you have

-32=8x then divide by 8 on both side giving you -4

The correct answer is x = -4

3. BXP and BYP are right angles- given

6. BXP≈BYP- ?

7. ?- corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent

8. Point P is equidistant from the sides of ABC- definition of equidistant

Answers

Answer:

Hello, I just took the test today. I will attach a screenshot. I hope I am not too late answering your question.

This question stumped me too at first. I hope this helps!

The missing parts that correctly complete the proof are;

2) Definition of a bisector

4) ∠BXP ≅ ∠BYP.

5) Reflexive property of congruence.

6) AAS congruence theorem.

7) Corresponding sides of congruent triangles are congruent.

We are given;

Point P is on the bisector of ∠ABC.

2) ∠ABP ≅ ∠CBP; The symbol ≅ means congruent. This means they are equal and it is true because it corresponds with the definition of a bisector means dividing into 2 equal parts.

4) All right angles are congruent; Congruent means equal and the two right angles we have in the image are; ∠BXP and ∠BYP. Thus, we can write; ∠BXP ≅ ∠BYP.

5) BP ≅ BP; This means that Line BP is congruent and equal to itself and this fulfils the theorem called reflexive property of congruence.

6) ΔBXP ≅ ΔBYP; This means ΔBXP is congruent to ΔBYP. Since we have established that ∠BXP ≅ ∠BYP; ∠ABP ≅ ∠CBP; BP ≅ BP. It means we have 2 corresponding angles and one corresponding side equal to each other from the 2 congruent triangles and so we can say this fulfils the AAS congruence theorem.

7) PX ≅ PY; This means PX is congruent to PY. From congruence theorem, corresponding sides of congruent triangles are congruent.

larry gets a 5% wage rise. his new wage is £252 per week. what was larrys wage before his wage rise

Answers

The raise was 5% which is 0.05 as a decimal.

For his new rate his original rate was multiplied by 1.05 ( original + 5%)

To find original amount, divide new amount by 1.05:

252 / 1.05 = 240

His original pay was £240

You can check by multiplying the original pay by 5% and adding:

240 x 0.05 = 12

240 + 12 = 252

your 6 1/4 - year investment of 40,000 at 14% compounded quarterly is worth how much now?​

Answers

Answer:

The investment of $40,000 is worth $94,529.80 now

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound Interest

It occurs when the interest is reinvested along with the principal, rather than paying it out. When it happens interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest.

To calculate the final amount we use:

[tex]{\displaystyle A=P\left(1+{\frac {r}{n}}\right)^{nt}}[/tex]

Where:

A = final amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

The investment is for t=6 1/4 years = 6.25 years with an initial balance of P=40,000 at a rate r=14% = 0.14 compounded quarterly. Since there are 4 quarters per year, then n=4.

Applying the formula:

[tex]{\displaystyle A=40,000\left(1+{\frac {0.14}{4}}\right)^{4*6.25}}[/tex]

[tex]{\displaystyle A=40,000\left(1+0.035\right)^{25}}[/tex]

A=$94,529.80

The investment of $40,000 is worth $94,529.80 now

is 10227 a rational number?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, 10227 is a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

10227 is whole number, an integer, a counting number. For a number to be rational it has to be a integer, a counting number, a whole number, a fraction, and a terminating decimal. A decimal that repeats like 3.3333 is also rational because it can be predicted. Pi or 3.14 is not predictable

Use the diagram below to solve. The m∠ 1 = 29x + 12 and the m∠ 5 = 15x - 8. All lines that appear parallel are parallel.

Answers

Answer:

Equation: (29x + 12)° + (15x - 8)° = 180°

x = 4

m∠ 5 = 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m∠ 1 = 29x + 12,

m∠ 5 = 15x - 8

Since all lines that appear are parallel, therefore, opposite angles of the quadrilateral are congruent.

Therefore, m<1 = m<4 = 29x + 12

m<4 + m<5 = 180° (linear pair)

(29x + 12) + (15x - 8) = 180° (substitution)

The equation above is what we would use in solving for x. Let's solve for x:

29x + 12 + 15x - 8 = 180

Collect like terms

44x + 4 = 180

Subtract 4 from both sides

44x = 180 - 4

44x = 176

Divide both sides by 44

x = 176/44

x = 4

m∠ 5 = 15x - 8

Plug in the value of x

m∠ 5 = 15(4) - 8 = 60 - 8

m∠ 5 = 52°
