PEMDAS: distribute the negative to (-2-5x) so it becomes (2+5x)+(-2)=18
Add 2 to both sides: 2+5x=20
Subtract 2: 5x=18
Divide 5: x= 18/5
Answer:
y - 1 = -4(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the point slope form of a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point
y - 1 = -4(x--3)
y - 1 = -4(x+3)
We'll need to assume that this is a case of compound interest which is paid once per year.
Then A = P (1 + r)^t becomes
$737.50 = $500 (1+0.095)^t
Then ($737.50/$500) = 1.095^t
Take the log of both sides. 0.1688 = log 1.095^t, or
0.1688 = t log 1.095 = t(0.0394)
Solving for t, t = 0.1688/0.0394 = 4.28 years
This comes out to 4 years and 28/100 of one year,
or 4 years and 3.36 months, or
4 years, 3 months and 11 days.
80% = 0.8, so it would be:
So, the number of seats filled were 96.
n= smallest integer
n+2= middle integer
n+4= largest integer
n + n + 4 = 36
2n+ 4 = 36
2n=32
n= 16 which means that the smallest integer is 16
then you substitute it into the equation for the largest integer
n+4=20
16, 18, 20 is the answer
