Step-by-step explanation:

Stephen's current average weekly net pay is $354.76. The van he wants to purchase has monthly payments of $325.00. the inequality that correctly shows the comparison between 15% of Stephen's average monthly net pay and the monthly van payment is  $212.86 ≤ $325.00

Information given in the question

Stephen's current average weekly net pay is $354.76

The van he wants to purchase has monthly payments of $325.00.

the inequality that compares 15% of Stephen's average monthly net pay and the monthly van payment = ?

A weekly pay of  $354.76 getting the monthly pay is

= 4 * $354.76

= $1419.04

15% of the monthly pay

= 0.15 * $1419.04

= 212.856

= $212.86

This amount is less than $325.00 which is monthly payment for the van hence  $212.86 ≤ $325.00

The other five trigonometric function values are cos(∅) = 11/61, tan(∅) = 60/11, sec(∅) = 61/11, csc(∅) = 61/60 and cot(∅) = 11/60

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

sin(∅) = 60/61

The cosine of the angle can be calculated using

sin²(∅) + cos²(∅) = 1

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

(60/61)² + cos²(∅) = 1

This gives

cos²(∅) = 1 - (60/61)²

Evaluate the like terms

cos²(∅) = 121/3721

Take the square root of both sides

cos(∅) = 11/61

The tangent of the angle can be calculated using

tan(∅) = sin(∅)/cos(∅)

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

tan(∅) = (60/61)/(11/61)

Evaluate

tan(∅) = 60/11

The other ratios of the angle are calculated as follows

sec(∅) = 1/cos(∅) = 61/11

csc(∅) = 1/sin(∅) = 61/60

cot(∅) = 1/tan(∅) = 11/60

If we take a square of sides A,B,C,D.

Locate the midpoint of any one side of the square by bisecting it.

Connecting the midpoint (say) P to a corner of the opposite side.

Placing the compass on point P, and the width set to match the distance of P to one of the opposite sides, we draw an arc.

By extending the line where P sits, we see that the arc intersects at a point. say Q.

Answer:

18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many miles Brent can travel, we need to first determine the cost of the base fare and then subtract that from the total amount of money Brent has. The base fare is $1.23, so we can subtract that from the total amount of money Brent has to find out how much money he has left for the per-mile charge:

14.91 - 1.23 = 13.68

Now that we know how much money Brent has left for the per-mile charge, we can divide that amount by the per-mile charge to find out how many miles Brent can travel:

13.68 / 0.76 = 18 miles

Therefore, Brent can travel a maximum of 18 miles given the amount of money he has available to spend on the ride.

Isotopes(200g) are atoms that have the same number of protons in their nucleus, but a different number of neutrons. This means that they have the same atomic number, but a different atomic mass. Because of this, isotopes have different physical and chemical properties. Isotopes can be stable, meaning that they do not undergo radioactive decay, or they can be unstable, meaning that they will undergo radioactive decay over time.

(a) Substituting 25 for t in the expression, we get:

[tex]A(25) = 200e^{0.0541 \times 25}[/tex]

         [tex]= 200e^{1.3525}[/tex]

Hopes this helps

Answer:

x = 7

Isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the distance all the way around the outside.

Given values of triangle BAG:

Therefore:

⇒ AG + AB + BG = perimeter

⇒ 16 + x + 4 + 2x + 2 = 43

⇒ x + 2x + 16 + 4 + 2 = 43

⇒ 3x + 22 = 43

⇒ 3x + 22 - 22 = 43 - 22

⇒ 3x = 21

⇒ 3x ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3

⇒ x = 7

Substitute the found value of x into the expressions for AB and BG to find their lengths:

⇒ AB = x + 4

⇒ AB = 7 + 4

⇒ AB = 11

⇒ BG = 2x + 2

⇒ BG = 2(7) + 2

⇒ BG = 14 + 2

⇒ BG = 16

As sides BG and AG are both 16 units in length, the triangle is an isosceles triangle (as it has two sides of equal length).

Answer:

x - 2 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 13 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 13 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

x - [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{53}{4}[/tex]  Add [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex] to both sides

x = [tex]\frac{53}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{64}{4}[/tex]

x = 16

Answer:

[tex]x-2 \frac{3}{4}=13 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

(where x is the original length of the pipe).

Original length of the pipe = 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original length of the pipe.

Given a plumber cuts 2 3/4 feet from a pipe and now has a pipe that is 13 1/4 feet long, the equation that models this is:

[tex]\boxed{ x-2 \frac{3}{4}=13 \frac{1}{4}}[/tex]

To determine the length of the original pipe, solve the equation for x.

Add 2 3/4 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]\implies x-2 \frac{3}{4}+2 \frac{3}{4}=13 \frac{1}{4}}+2 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=13 \frac{1}{4}}+2 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

When adding mixed numbers, partition the mixed numbers into fractions and whole numbers, and add them separately:

[tex]\implies x=13 +\dfrac{1}{4}}+2 +\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=13 +2 +\dfrac{1}{4}}+\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=15 +\dfrac{1+3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=15 +\dfrac{4}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=15 +1[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=16[/tex]

Therefore, the original length of the pipe was 16 feet.
