The applicable formula is
I = Prt
where P = the principal value (12109), r is the interest rate (0.045), and t is the time period in years (1/2)
a) Substituting the given values, the interest amount is computed as
I = ($12,109)(.0.45)(1/2)
I = $272.45
b) The amount Sophia will have to pay back is the sum of the principal amount and the interest owed.
$12,109 + 272.45 = $12,381.45

multiplying both sides by x^2

simplifying

dividing by 7
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
When the value of the positive number is the same as the negative number, the sum is zero. The positive number and negative number cancel each other out or simplify. The sum of two negative integers is always negative. When two or more negative numbers are added together, the result or sum is always negative
