-2/3x - 3/4x =5/6.

Find the common denominator for -2/3x and -3/4x. The common denominator is 12.

Multiply by 4 for -2/3x. (-2)(4)/3(4)x=-8/12x

Multiply by 3 for -3/4x. (-3)(3)/4(3)x=-9/12x

-8/12x-9/12x=5/6

-17/12x=5/6

Multiply both sides by -12/17

(-17/12x)(-12/17)=5/6(-12/17)

Cross out -17 and 17, divide by 17. Then becomes 1.

Cross out -12 and -12, divide by -12. Then becomes 1.

1*1*x=x

Cross out 6 and -12, divide by 6. 6/-6=1, -12/6=-2

5*-2/17=-10/17

Answer: -10/17

common denumerator is 12

-8/12x-9/12x=10/12

-17/12x=10/12 <<multiply by 12

-17x=10

x=-0.59

<span>Ned scored 2p+3. Tony scored 3 points more than Ned, so Tony scored 3+2p+3, or 2p+6. Matt scored twice as many points as Tony, so Matt scored 2(2p+6), or 4p+12. Juan scored 8 fewer points than Ned, so Juan scored 2p+3-8, or 2p-5. To simplify, we add these four values. 2p + 3 2p + 6 4p + 12 2p - 5 This equals 10p + 16.</span>

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-8) and has a slope of -1
marishachu [46]

Answer:

y= (-1)*x

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume that the line equation is

y=m*x +b

where m is the slope and b the independent variable that intercept Y axis.

then replacing the value of m:

y=(-1)*x + b

after that we have to look for the value of b. Its obtained replaicing the given point (8,-8):

-8 = (-1)*(8) +b

-8 = -8 + b

0 = b

Therefore the equation of the line is:

y= (-1)*x

Your parents will retire in 20 years. They currently have $300,000 saved, and they think they will need $1,450,000 at retirement
Tanya [424]
N=20 periods (years)
present value, P = 300,000
future value, F= 1450000
i=annual interest rate

F=P(1+i)^n
1450000=300000(1+i)^{20}
(1+i)^{20}=1450000/300000
(1+i)^{20}=29/6
(1+i)=(29/6)^{1/20}
i=(29/6)^{1/20}-1
i=(29/6)^{1/20}-1
=1.081963-1
=0.081963
=8.1963%

Answer: they need to earn 8.1963% or more to achieve their goal.
