Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Harpreet        = x + 3

Sukhpreet     = x

Komalpreet   = 2*(x + 3)

Average Age = 15

Equation

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15                  Multiply both sides by 3

Solution

3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3         Combine

 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ]       =   45             Remove the brackets

x + 3 + x + 2x + 6                 =   45             Combine like terms

4x + 9 = 45                                                 Subtract 9 from both sides

4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9                                       Combine

4x = 36                                                         Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Answer

Harpreet is  x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

8000$ is invested in an account the yields 6% interest per year. After how many years will the account worth 13709.60$ if the in
ozzi

Answer:

After 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $8000

r = 6% = 0.046

n = 12

The compound interest is given by:

A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years.

Putting the values, we get,

13709.60 = 8000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\dfrac{13709.60}{8000} = \bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.7137 = (1.005)^{12t}\\\Rightarrow t \approx 9

Thus, after 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$

How many solutions does 2.3y+3.2-y=2.1+1.3y+1.1 have?
jeka57 [31]
1.3y +3.2 = 1.3y +3.2

we notice that both sides of the equation are identical. So substitute y with any value and the equation would still be correct.

y has infinite solutions.

What is the least common denominator of 4/x * -4/2x^2?
Vanyuwa [196]
The least common denominator would be 2x^2
that is because you would have to multiply the first fraction by 2x
but you can't just somehow simplify 2x^2, it wouldn't be right
4/x * -4/2x^2
2x*4/(2x*x) * -4/2x^2
8x /2x^2 * -4/2x^2
Then you would complete it 

Hope this helps :)
