Answer:   x = 8/3 ; or, write as:  2 2/3; or, write as, 2.66666667 .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________

 Given:   5 − 1/2 x = 5/8 x + 2 ;
______________________________________________________
    Change the  1/2 x  to "4/8 x" ;
_________________________________________________
Since "1/2" = "(1*4)/(2*4)" = "(4/8)"; and rewrite:
_________________________________________________
      → 5 − (4/8)x = (5/8)x + 2 ;
_________________________________________________
  Subtract "5"; and add "(5/8)x" to EACH side of the equation:
________________________________________________
 5 − (4/8)x  −  5 + (5/8)x  =  (5/8)x  + 2 − 5 + (5/8)x ;
_________________________________________________
to get:
_______________________________________
                 (1/8) x = (10/8)x  − 3
___________________________________________________________
Multiply the entire equation (BOTH SIDES) by "8"; to get rid of the fraction:
_________________________________________________________

8 * { (1/8) x = (10/8)x − 3 }; 
______________________________
     to get:
______________________________
              x = 10x − 24 ;
___________________________________
Subtract "x" ; and add "24" ; to EACH side of the equation:
____________________________________________________
       →      x − x + 24 =  10x − 24  − x  + 24 ;
____________________________________________________
       to get:
_____________________________________________________
            →  24  = 9x ; ↔  9x = 24 ;
______________________________________
  → Divide EACH side of the equation by "9" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________
        → 9x / 9 = 24 / 9 ;
_______________________________________
        →    x = 24/9 = (24÷3)/ (9÷3) = 8/3
_______________________________________________
        →    x = 8/3 ; or, write as:  2 2/3; or, write as, 2.66666667.

You saved $10,943.89 in an emergency fund. One fourth is in a regular savings account at a 3.5% APR, and the remainder is in a 3
labwork [276]
I found the same question on the internet and their answer is $9.76, which is obviously not in your choices. They deducted both given interest rates before multiplying it to the emergency fund amount and dividing it by 12 months.

   4.57%−3.5%
   =1.07%
   (0.0107×10,943.89)÷12
   =9.76

Another possible answer is $22.96 using 30 days / 365 days in a year.

Savings: 10,943.89 x (1/4) x 3.5% x (30/365) = $7.87
CD: 10,943.89 x the remainder (3/4) x 4.57% x (30/365) = $30.83

The difference between the two values: 30.83 - 7.87 = $ 22.96: so the first choice (I'm not so sure though)

In general, SSA does not always determine
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing only side-side-angle (SSA) does not work because the unknown side could be located in two different places. Knowing only angle-angle-angle (AAA) does not work because it can produce similar but not congruent triangles. ... The same is true for side angle side, angle side angle and angle angle side.
