Answer:
 interest rate = 2.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
the principal is $25,000, the interest is $10,875
Number of years = 15
We use simple interest formula
I = P*r*t
Where I is the interest amount=10,875
P is the principal amount= 25000
r is the interest rate = r
t is the number of years = 15
Plug in all the value in the formula
I = P*r*t
10875 = 25000 * r * 15
10875 = 375000 * r 
Divide both sides by 375000
r=0.029
We always write rate of interest in percentage so we multiply by 100
0.029 * 100= 2.9%
So interest rate = 2.9%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Eliminate parentheses:
   0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x
   22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x
   12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9

2) Eliminate parentheses:
   -16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8
   3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x
   x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2

<em>Comments on the solutions</em>
The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...
   variable term = constant
We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.
