Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to distribute: (-0.5 * -2x) and (-0.5 * 8) -8 = 8

1x - 4 - 8 = 8

Next collect like terms: 1x - 12 = 8

Isolate x to get the value of x: Add 12 to both sides

1x = 20

So x = 20

Answer:x=20

Step-by-step explanation: first you distribute the value outside of the parentheses

-0.5*2x= 1x

-0.5*8=-4

it then becomes

x-4-8=8

combine -4 and -8

x-12=8

add the 12 over

x=20

Sam invests $6000 in two different accounts. The first account paid 12 %, the second account paid 7 % in interest. At the end of

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount in the account at 12% interest

So, 6000-x is the amount in the second account at 7% interest

$SI = \frac{P \times T \times R}{100}$

First account: $SI=\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}$

Second account : $SI =\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}$

We are given that At the end of the first year he had earned $590 in interest.

So, $\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}+\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}=590\\x=3400$

So,the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400

The amount in the second account at 7% interest =6000-x=6000-3400=2600

Hence the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Whitch is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the lone represented by

Anon25 [30]

It would be the second one because to make a equation perpendicular, you have to flip the fraction (and if it was a whole number like 6 it would become 1/6) and then make it negative.
So your new equation would be y=-6/7x+4
