Answer:

$10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Molly invested $50,000 in various stocks and bonds.

She earned 15% on bonds and 18% on stocks

Let the bonds be denoted by a

However, her profit on both types of investment is said to be $8700

We are to find how much of the $50,000 did she invest in bonds.

i.e

0.15a + 0.18(50000-a)  = 8700

open brackets

0.15a + 9000 - 0.18a = 8700

Collect like terms

0.15a - 0.18a = 8700 - 9000

-0.03a  = -300

Divide both sides by(-0.03); we get

a = 10000

Thus, Molly invested $10000 in the bonds.

The area of Miguel’s rectangular garden is 450 square feet. The garden is 9 feet wide.
Daniel [21]

Answer: 118 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangular shape: Area = W × L

450 = 9 × L

450 ÷ 9

L = 50

Perimeter of a rectangular shape = 2L + 2W

Perimeter = (2 × 50) + (2 × 9)

= 100 + 18 = 118 feet

The isosceles triangle has a base that measures 14 units. The value of y, the length of each leg, must be equal to 7. between 7
Dvinal [7]
1.The isosceles triangle has sides of length 14, y, y

2. According to the "triangle inequality" :

y+y>14
2y>14
y>14/2=7

(y is greater than 7)

3. Remark, check the figures:

the side lengths cannot be less than (neither equal to 7), because we cannot get a triangle in that case, check picture 2

In picture 1 wee see that the side lengths can be as large as we want. We can erect an altitude, as high as we want. Pick a point on the altitude, and join it to the endpoints of the base, and we get an isosceles triangle with base equal to 14.

Pooja's plant began sprouting 2days before Pooja bought it, and she had it for 98 days until it died. At its tallest, the plant
taurus [48]

Given that function H(t) models the height of Pooja's plant (in centimeters) where t is the number of days after she bought it.

Now we have to find about which number type is more appropriate for the domain of h. That means what values can be taken by the variable "t".

Since t is number of days not the hours so t will not use decimal or fraction values. It can use integer values for the number of days.

Since time is counted after she bought the plant then number of days will be positive.

Hence answer for the type of domain can be positive integers or you can say integers greater than or equal to 0.
