Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. cross multiply to get

5(4x+2)= 35(x-1)

2. distribute

20x+10=35x-35

3. combine like terms

45=15x

4. divide :)

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)/5 = (4x + 2)/35

to find the value of x

the first thing to do is to cross multiply

from this ,

(x-1)/5 = (4x + 2)/ 35

35(x-1) = 5( 4x + 2)

35x - 35 = 20x + 10

we are going to collect the like terms

35x -20x = 10 + 35

15x = 45

we are going to divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 15

we have,

15x/15 = 45/15

x = 3

therefore the value of x = 3

to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and slot it into one of the equations.

35x - 35 = 20x + 10

35(3) - 35 = 20(3) + 10

105 - 35 = 60 + 10

70 = 70........................ proved.

Rita charged $126 for a DVD player at an interest rate of 15.9%. How much will Rita have to pay for the DVD player after 3 years
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

$ 129.34 will be the total payment made after two months if she made no initial payment

Step-by-step explanation:

annual interest rate = 15.9 %

initial charge = $126

to get the annual interest paid = 15.9% of $126

                                                  = 0.159 * $126 = $20.03

monthly interest paid would be = annual interest  / 12 months

                                                    = 20.03 / 12 = $1.67

hence in 2 months Rita will pay = initial charge + monthly interest * 2

                                                    = $126 + $ 1.67 *2 = $ 126 + $3.34

                                                    = $ 129 .34

Interest rates are always given an annual interest rate.

Your Welcome :D
