The rate of interest is 25%
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Principal, P = $2,000
Amount, A = $2500
Time, t = 1 year
Rate of Interest, r = ?
We know:
On substituting the value we get:
Therefore, the rate of interest is 25%
We’ll subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, keeping the base the same. Cant be simplified, because the base of the expression in the numerator is y and the base of the expression in the denominator is x.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-4p + 9 = -5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>p</u></em>
- Subtract 9 on both sides: -4p = -14
- Divide -4 on both sides: p = 7/2
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in p into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>p</em>: -4(7/2) + 9 = -5
- Multiply: -14 + 9 = -5
- Add: -5 = -5
Here we see that -5 does indeed equal -5.
∴ p = 7/2 is the solution to the equation.
