Answer:
20.4 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The nper formula in excel comes handy in this scenario:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
Rate is the monthly rate of 5.4%/12
Assuming actual investment is $5,000 which is pv
The triple amount would be $5,000*3=$15,000 which is future value fv.
pmt is the regular cash flow the investment which is zero
=nper(5.4%/12,0,-5000,15000)= 244.68 months
Yearly it can be expressed as = 244.68/12 =20.39 years
When rounded to one decimal place it becomes 20.4 years
25 divided by 100 = 0.25
0.25 times 40 = 10
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 secants intersecting a circle from an external point, then
The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is
(x + 1)(x + 1 + 11) = (x + 4)(x + 4 + 1)
(x + 1)(x + 12) = (x + 4)(x + 5) ← expand both sides
x² + 13x + 12 = x² + 9x + 20
Subtract x² + 9x from both sides
4x + 12 = 20 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
It is a linear equation so there can be 1 solution, 0 solutions, or infinite solutions
4(x-5)=4x-24
distribute
4x -20 = 4x-24
subtract 4x from each side
-20 = -24
no solutions
92+65=157
157-14=143
Answer is 143
hope this helps:)
