For three consecutive years, Sam invested some money at the start of the year. The first year, he invested x dollars. The second year, he invested $2,000 less than 5/2 times the amount he invested the first year. The third year, he invested $1,000 more than 1/5 of the amount he invested the first year.

During the same three years, Sally also invested some money at the start of every year. The first year, she invested $1,000 less than 3/2 times the amount Sam invested the first year. The second year, she invested $1,500 less than 2 times the amount Sam invested the first year. The third year, she invested $1,400 more than 1/4 of the amount Sam invested the first year.

If Sam and Sally invested the same total amount at the end of three years, the amount Sam invested the first year is $ and the amount Sally invested the last year is $ .

Answers

Answer 1
To answer we let x be the amount of money that Sam invested during the first year. 

Below are the expressions translated from the given word forms for the amount invested.

Sam:
2nd year :   amount = 5x/2 - 2000
3rd year  :   amount = x/5 + 1000

The sum of money invested by Sam is:
  x + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000)

Similarly, we derive the expressions that we use for the amount that Sally invested.
Sally
1st year  :    amount  = 3x/2 - 1000
2nd year :    amount = 2x - 1500
3rd year :     amount = x/4 + 1400

The total amount that Sally invested is, 
        total = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)

Equating the two equations:
 (x) + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000) = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)

 Solving for x,
               x = 2000
For Sally's investment in the third year:
    amount = x/4 + 1400 = (2000/4 + 1400) = 1900

ANSWERS: 
  Sam's first year = $2000
  Sally's third year = $1900

Lily is 14 older than her little brother Ezekiel. In 8 years, Lily will be twice as old as Ezekiel will be then. What is Lily and Ezekiel's combined To be determined.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

Let the age of lily be L and the gare of her brother Ezekiel is E.
Lily is 14 older than her little brother Ezekiel.


L = 14 + E  - - - - - -(1)

In 8 years, Lily will be twice as old as Ezekiel will be then.


L = 2(E)


put L in equation 1.

2E = 14 + E
2E - E = 14
E = 14

Now put E in equation 1

L = 14 + 14
L = 28

Combined age of  Lily and Ezekiel's = 28 + 14
                                                       = 42

Thus, the combined age of  Lily and Ezekiel's is 42.

To prove that the medians of an isosceles triangle meet at a point, show that the ____ of a side lies on the line containing the opposite _____ and the point where the other two ____ intersect

Answers

Might be:

*midpoint* of a side

opposite *vertex*

*medians* intersect


If three lines meet at a single point, we say that the lines are concurrent.

Note that median is a line joining one vertex of a triangle with the midpoint of its opposite side.

Draw two medians for the given isosceles triangle.

Now, join the point of intersection of these medians and the third vertex.

If we prove the midpoint of the opposite side lies on this line, then it will be proved that the medians of the given isosceles triangle meet at a point.

Hence, here is the correct statement with blanks filled.

The midpoint of a side lies on the line containing the opposite vertex and the point where the other two medians intersect.

One minute after it is released, a gas-filled balloon has risen 100 feet. In each succeeding minute, the balloon rises only 50% as far as it rose in the previous minute. How far will the balloon rise in 5 minutes?

Answers

The amount that it rises each minute forms a geometric sequence...

a(n)=ar^(n-1), and we know that a=100 ft and r=1/2 so

a(n)=100(1/2)^(n-1)

And the sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

s(n)=100(1-0.5^n)/(1-0.5)

s(n)=200(1-0.5^n)

So we can call these sums the height function

h(t)=200(1-0.5^t)

So after 5 minutes...

h(5)=200(1-0.5^5)

h(5)=193.75 ft

A scatter plot is made with the data shown below: Number of Bakers at a Cake Shop 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Number of Cakes Baked 7 7 8 8 9 11 13 14 14 What type of association will the scatter plot for these data represent between the number of bakers at the cake shop and the number of cakes baked? No association Positive linear association Negative linear association Positive nonlinear association

Answers

I think the correct answer would be the second option. Given the data above, the type of association that the scatter plot would show would be a positive linear association. It is best if you plot these points so you will see that there is an almost linear relation of the points. By doing linear regression, you can validate that the correlation of the data points would be linear. A positive linear association would mean that it changes linearly from the left increasing to the right. So, most likely, the graph would be sloping up to the right and it can be observed for the given data above.

A figure has a vertex at (-1, -3). If the figure has line symmetry about the y-axis, what are the coordinates of another vertex of the figure?

A) (-3, -1)

B) (3, 1)

C) (1, -3)

D) (-1, 3)

Answers

Its (1,-3) simply reflect it above the y-axis, if one vertex is on the negative side and the symmetry if about the y axis (y=0) therefore the reflection means the x value becomes inverse -1 changes to 1 and -3 remains the same 

Answer:

(1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A figure has a vertex at (-1, -3). If the figure has line symmetry about the y-axis, find the coordinates

When a vertex is reflected over y axis then the value of y remains the same , the x value becomes -x

for (x,y) reflected over line symmetry y axis

(x,y) becomes (-x,y)

So the vertex (-1,-3) becomes (1,-3)

Hermina cut a 10" by 15" piece of cardboard down the diagonal

Answers

When you cut along the diagonal, a right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse is the diagonal and the legs are the length and width of the rectangle (10 and 15 in this case)
Now use the pythagorean theorem to solve
10^2+15^2=325=c^2
c= approx 18.02775=length of the diagonal
Final answer:

Hermina can calculate the length of the diagonal on her 10" by 15" rectangle of cardboard by using the Pythagorean theorem. The formula states that the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the length and the width. Thus, by inputting the values into the formula, we get a diagonal length of about 18.03".

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the length of the diagonal on a rectangular piece of cardboard. In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the length of a diagonal. In this case, the length and width of the rectangle are given as 10" and 15" respectively. We can apply the theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The diagonal here acts as the hypotenuse, with the other two sides being the length and width of the rectangle. Therefore, the length of the diagonal is the square root of the sum of squares of these sides, which would be sqrt(10^2 + 15^2), resulting in approximately 18.03".

Hilary wants to fill a mini cake pan with batter to make a mini cake for Phillip's party. The cake pan is 4.0 inches long, 9.0 inches wide, and 2.2 inches deep. What is the volume of the cake pan?

Answers

The volume of the cake pan Hilary wants to use is calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism. With dimensions of 4.0 inches by 9.0 inches by 2.2 inches, the volume is 79.2 cubic inches.

To find the volume of the cake pan that Hilary wants to use for making a mini cake for Phillip's party, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is Volume = length × width ×height. Given the dimensions of the cake pan are 4.0 inches long, 9.0 inches wide, and 2.2 inches deep, we can calculate the volume as follows:

Volume = length × width × height

Volume = 4.0 in×  9.0 in  × 2.2 in

Volume = 79.2 in³

Therefore, the volume of the cake pan is 79.2 cubic inches.

find k if the lines 3x-5y=9 and 2x+ky=11 are a) parallel and b) perpendicular

Answers

a) To find k for parallel lines, equate slopes to get k = -10/3. b) For perpendicular lines, use negative reciprocal slopes to find k = 3/10.

To determine the conditions for parallelism and perpendicularity, we need the slope of each line. The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope.

To find the slope of the first line, we rearrange 3x-5y=9 to the form of y = mx + b, resulting in y = (3/5)x - (9/5). Therefore, the slope is 3/5. For the second line, rearranging 2x+ky=11 gives us y = (-2/k)x + (11/k). The slope of the second line is -2/k.

For the lines to be parallel, their slopes must be equal, so 3/5 = -2/k. Solving for k, we get k = -10/3. For the lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes must be -1 (since perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes). This gives us (3/5)(-2/k) = -1, and solving for k yields k = 3/10.

Half of it is  1/2 G

The sum of that and 6 is          1/2 G + 6

Ten times that is              10 (1/2 G + 6)

The question says that's 8.
                                        So       10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8

Divide each side by  10 :                1/2 G + 6  =  0.8

Subtract  6  from each side:            1/2 G  =  - 5.2

Multiply each side by  2 :                        G  =  - 10.4

That seems like a weird answer.  We should check it.

You want to buy an item that costs $100. Which is the most cost-effective choice for buying the item?

Answers

well if you have 100$ you would want to buy something a little under 100 because if you bought something that was exactly 100$ you would need more money because of tax. So it would be best if you buy something that is 95$ instead of something that is exactly 100$!!

Compare prices, consider discounts, and watch for additional costs like shipping. Choose the option with the lowest total expense for buying the $100 item.

To determine the most cost-effective choice for buying the $100 item, you should consider any available discounts, promotions, or deals offered by different sellers or platforms. Here are a few strategies you could consider:

1. **Comparison Shopping**: Check multiple retailers or online platforms to see if the item is available at a lower price elsewhere. Websites and apps dedicated to comparison shopping can help streamline this process.

2. **Discounts and Coupons**: Look for any available discounts or coupons that you can apply to your purchase. Many retailers offer promotional codes or special deals that can help reduce the cost of the item.

3. **Cashback and Rewards**: Some credit cards or loyalty programs offer cashback or rewards points for purchases. If you have a card or program like this, see if you can earn rewards or cashback by buying the item through a specific retailer.

4. **Timing**: Consider timing your purchase to coincide with sales events or promotions, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or seasonal sales. Buying during these periods can often result in significant savings.

5. **Shipping and Handling Costs**: Be mindful of any additional costs associated with shipping and handling. Sometimes, even if the base price of the item seems lower from one seller, the shipping costs may make the overall purchase more expensive.

By comparing prices, looking for discounts, and considering additional costs, you can find the most cost-effective option for purchasing the $100 item.
