A real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
I believe this question is referring to purchasing a discount on a loan's interest rate by putting more towards closing costs. For mortgages, sometimes they will allow you to "buy" a smaller interest rate. For example:
<span>Loan A has an interest rate of 4.5% and no closing costs. </span>
<span>Loan B has an interest rate of 4.375%, but has $1000 in closing costs. </span>
<span>Normally, Loan A would be the better choice if you plan on keeping the home short term, but Loan B would be more beneficial for keeping the loan long-term. I don't really care to spend the time that is necessary to come up with an actual scenario, but I hope that helps enough for you to understand the question.</span>
X+2y=8
2y=8/2y
=4 is the answer. You’re so welcome
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The sides AB and CD are parallel to the x-axis and 5 units apart. The length of side AB is 6-(-12) = 18 units. The area is the product of these dimensions:
Area = (Base)(Height) = (18 units)(5 units) = 90 units²
Answer:
8%
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the equation provided to solve this problem.

Lets plug in the values:
First, divide both sides by 800.
Multiply x by 1

Now, we multiply .08 by 100 to get our interest rate:
(.08)100 = 8
The interest rate is 8%
