That means when x=0
e^-0.2x =e^0=1
So f(0)=15/5=3
2x - 3y = 3.....multiply by 4
5x - 4y = 4....multiply by -3
--------------
8x - 12y = 12 (result of multiplying by 4)
-15x + 12y = -12 (result of multiplying by -3)
-------------
- 7x = 0
x = 0 <===
34x=0
So we need to isolate x. Since 34 is multiplied by x, we need to isolate x by moving 34 over the equal sign. Whenever you move something over the equal sign, the opposite is done. For 34, instead of being multiplied, it will be divided.
34x=0
X=0/34
Then you solve for x
X=0
Hope this helps!
2508(1+0.04)^24 = 6,428. trust me, found it to 6,019.20.
