Answer:

The correct option is;

The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements are analysed as follows

1. Angle A is congruent to itself reflective property

Which shows that ΔABC and ΔADE have a common and equal angle

2. Segment ED and CB are parallel

From the transversal line passing EB and CB which shows that the angles ∠ADE and ∠ABC are equal and also ∠AED and ∠ACB are equal

The statement is used to prove similarity between the ΔABC and ΔADE

3. The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

The above statements relates to only ΔABC and i does not show similarity between ΔABC and ΔADE.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Peter will have $910 - $40 * x on his account, where x is the number of the weeks. Marla will have $470 - $20 * x.
910 - 40 x = 470 - 20 x
910 - 470 = 40 x - 20 x
440 = 20 x
x = 440 : 20
x = 22
910 - 40 * 22 = 910 - 880 = $30
470 - 20 * 22 = 470 - 440 = $30
Answer: Their accounts will be equal in 22 weeks ( both of them will have $30 ).

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

monthly amount of $220=R

interest rate is fixed at 2.05%. We require the monthly ineterest rate, hence monthly interest rate= 2.05%/12=0.1708%=0.0017

t=15years×12=180 months

In order to calculate how much should be in the account after 15 years, we would have to use the following formula:

Ap=<u>R(1-(1+i)∧-t)</u>

i

Ap=<u>220(1-(1+0.0017)∧-180)</u>

0.0017

Ap=<u>162,04</u>

0.0017

Ap=$95,321.85

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

FOR 14 POINTS Thalia, a quiz show contestant, answered 20 questions. She was awarded 2 points for every correct answer that she

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

<em>The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Questions = 20

Total Points = 28

Correct Answers = +2 points

Incorrect Answers = -1 point

Required

Spot the error in the viewer's calculation

The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.

This implies that

$x + y = 20$

Also, for every correct answers, she gets 2 points;

<em>This can be represented by 2x</em>

and for every incorrect answers, she gets -1 point

<em>This can be represented by -y</em>

This implies that

$2x - y = 28$

This is where the viewer made a mistake

The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;

Solving further

$2x - y = 28$

$x + y = 20$

Add both equations together

$2x + x + y - y = 28 + 20$

$3x = 48$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{48}{3}$

$x = \frac{48}{3}$

$x = 16$

Substitute $x = 16$ in $x + y = 20$

$16 + y = 20$

Subtract 16 from both sides

$16 - 16 + y = 20 - 16$

$y = 20 - 16$

$y = 4$

<em>This implies that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly</em>
