I will do my best to explain this “ x method “ I use
Basically, two factors of the first and last number must multiply together to sum up to equal the middle number
1 X 12
1 4
(x+12) (x+4)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x=21.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute 3 to the parenthesis. You should get 3x-21=42 at this point. Then you add 21 to 42 to get 63. Here you should be at 3x=63. Divide 63 by 3 to get x=3
That means 1/8 times itself 2 times so
1/8 times 1/8=(1 times 1)/(8 times 8)=1/64
Answer:
ab = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations
ax² +ax + 2 = 0
x² + x + b = 0
root of both the equation
x= 1
then we can plug in x = 1 in both the equation
ax² +ax + 2 = 0 x² + x + b = 0
a*1² +a*1 + 2 = 0 1² + 1 + b = 0
a +a + 2 = 0 1 + 1 + b = 0
2a + 2 = 0 2 + b = 0
2a = - 2 b = -2
a = -2/2 = -1
Thus,
a = -1
b = -2
a*b = -1*-2 = 2
ab = 2
Answer: the account earns interest of $40.16
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
Where
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years
r represents the interest rate.
n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.
P represents the principal or initial amount deposited
From the information given,
P = 875.83
r = 9% = 9/100 = 0.09
n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.
t = 6 months = 6/12 = 0.5 year
Therefore,.
A = 875.83(1+0.09/12)^0.5 × 12
A = 875.83(1+0.0075)^6
A = 875.83(1.0075)^6
A = 915.99
The interest that she earns is
915.99 - 875.83 = $40.16
