The formula is principal x ( 1+ interest rate)^ number of years
5%:
20,000 x 1.05^3 = $23152.50 total
Interest = 23152.50-20000= $3,152.50
10%
20000 x 1.10^3 = $26,620.00
Interest = 26620-20000 = $6,620
12%
20000 x 1.12^3 = $28,098.56
Interest = 28098.56-20000 = $8.098.56
Answer:
1) one solution
2) Infinitely many solution
3) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is -14-8x=-2(-3x+7)
Let us expand the right hand side to get:
-14-8x=-2*-3x+-2*7
We multiply -14-8x=6x-14
We group similar terms to get:
-8x-6x=-14+14
Combine similar terms to get:
-14x=0
Divide through by -14 to get:
x=0
2) The second equation is 3+5x=5(x+2)-7
We expand to obtain:
3+5x=5x+5*2-7
Multiply to get:
3+5x=5x+10-7
This gives us
3+5x=5x+3
5x=5x
1=1
There is infinitely many solutions
3) The third equation is: 36-7x=-7(x-5)
We expand to get:
36-7x=-7x+35
Group similar terms;
-7x+7x=35-36
0=-1
This statement is not true so there is no solution.
Answer: 14
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Consecutive even numbers would be {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...}
Let x represent the smallest number, then x + 2 is the middle number and x + 4 is the largest number.
1st number: x
2nd number: x + 2
3rd number: x + 4
1st number + 2nd number + 3rd number = Sum
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 48
3x + 6 = 48
3x = 42
x = 14
1st number: x ⇒ x = 14
2nd number: x + 2 ⇒ 14 + 2 = 16
3rd number: x + 4 ⇒ 14 + 4 = 18
<u>Check:</u>
14 + 16 + 18 = 48
