Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute: -4/5x + 7 = -5
Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: -4/5x = -5 - 7
Calculate the sum or difference: -4/5x = -12
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable: x = -12 × (-5/4)
Remove the parentheses: x = 12 × 5/4
Cross out the common factor: x = 3 × 5
Calculate the product or quotient: x = 15
So the answer is: x = 15
The half life would be about 3 so making the percentage About 25%
<h3>Y
ou have the correct answer</h3><h3>Interest rate = 21.5%</h3>
===============================================
Work Shown:
i = P*r*t .... simple interest formula
i = simple interest
i = 2075-1000 = 1075
P = 1000 = amount borrowed (principal)
r = unknown interest rate
t = 5 = time in years
So,
i = P*r*t
1075 = 1000*r*5
1075 = 5000r
5000r = 1075
r = 1075/5000
r = 0.215
r = 21.5%
