60° bc 25+35=60, 180-60=20, 180-20=60, 60+60+x=180; x=60
Answer: 8x - 32
Work:
Simplify using the distributive property of multiplication.
8(x) = 8x
8(-4) = -32
Simplified expression: 8x - 32
Simple interest = Cost Price + (Interest Percentage of Cost Price × number of years or months we are paying off)
a) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + £4000 = £24 000
b) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + £3000 = £23 000
£24 000 - £23 000 = £1000 that you saved!
The equation for this should be 4n - 15
