I believe there are 1,600 students enrolled in metaphysics.
Answer:
El valor de x es 4.
Explicación paso a paso:
Se indica que el triángulo MRN surge al doblar un triángulo equilátero por la mitad.
Esto sugiere que el triángulo equilátero original es MNO y que NR actúa como bisectriz perpendicular (una línea que divide un segmento en dos partes iguales formando un ángulo recto).
La longitud del lado del triángulo es
NO = NS + SM = 6 + 2 = 8
Dado que un triángulo equilátero tiene todos sus lados iguales y NR es la bisectriz perpendicular, se tiene que
RM = MO/2 = 8/2 = 4
El valor de x es 4.
Let’s define x as the amount invested by Sam in the first year.
Here are the corresponding expressions derived from the provided descriptions for Sam's investments.
For Sam:
2nd year: investment = 5x/2 - 2000
3rd year: investment = x/5 + 1000
The total Sam invested is:
x + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000)
Next, we can form the expressions for Sally’s investments.
For Sally
1st year: investment = 3x/2 - 1000
2nd year: investment = 2x - 1500
3rd year: investment = x/4 + 1400
Thus, Sally's total investment is,
total = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)
Setting both totals equal gives us:
(x) + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000) = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)
Solving for x,
x = 2000
For Sally's investment for the third year:
investment = x/4 + 1400 = (2000/4 + 1400) = 1900
RESULTS:
Sam's first year = $2000
Sally's third year = $1900
The students likely won't care much about the spending because they aren't using their own money.
