Answer:
so, it's 0.1x35=3.5
it will be lowered by 3.5 dollars
For the answer to the question above,
The simple interest formula is I = P * r * t
P is the principal (2,000)
r is the interest rate (7% or 0.07)
t is the time (5)
2000 * 0.07 * 5 = 700
$700.00 is the interest
Joe has to pay $700.00 in interest.
I hope this helps
Answer:
x = 3, y = 1 is the solution of the given system.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given system of equations is:
y = -x + 4 ...... (1)
y = x - 2 .......... (2)
Now, to find the solution of the system, SUBSTITUTE the value of y from equation (1) in to the equation (2). We get ,
y = x - 2 ⇒ -x + 4 = x - 2 ( as from (1), y = -x + 4)
or, -x -x = -2 -4
or, - 2 x = -6 ⇒ x = 6/2 = 3
or, x = 3
⇒ y = x - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
⇒ y = 1
Hence, x = 3, y = 1 is the solution of the given system.

Answer:
(a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.
In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.
In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.
In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
