Answer:
a=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3a-2.4=5.1 Add the like terms ( plus 2.4 cancels out -2.4)
+2.4 +2.4
3a=7.5 Now divide by 3
/3 /3
a=2.5
Okay so the first thing you need to do is move the all the variables to one side of the equal sign
Answer:
x = 2 x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x+2) ^2-4=28
Add 4 to each side
2 (x+2) ^2-4+4=28+4
2 (x+2) ^2= 32
Divide by 2
2/2 (x+2) ^2=32/2
(x+2)^2 = 16
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+2)^2) =±sqrt( 16)
x+2 = ±4
Subtract 2 from each side
x+2-2 = -2±4
x = -2±4
x = -2+4 and x = -2-4
x = 2 x = -6
The balance is $145 but after one makes he minimum payment of $20, there is $125 left to pay. However interest is added before the next month’s bill is generated.
Remember that percent means out of 100. 1.5% means 1.5/100 = .015
To find 1.5% of 125 we multiply (.015)(125) = 1.875 But as this is money the interest is rounded to two decimal places and so is $1.88
We add this to 125 to get next month’s balance which is 125 + 1.88 = $126.88
