Ashley solved the equation for m using the following steps. -4.5 + m = 17 -4.5 -4.5 m = 12.5 What was Ashley’s error?

Ashley's error is that she multiplied m by - 4.5, when she should be adding.

$- 4.5 + m = 17 - 4.5 \\ - 4.5 + m = 12.5 \\ m = 17$

Hope this helps. - M

1000 was invested at 5.5% interest, compounded annually. After sometime the amount had grown to 1550. How long was the money inv

scZoUnD [109]

compound interest equation for annually compounded

$A=P(1+r)^t$

A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal

t=time in years

given that

A=1550

P=1000

r=5.5%=0.055

find t

$1550=1000(1+0.055)^t$

divide both sides by 1000

$1.55=1.055^t$

take ln of both sides

$ln(1.55)=ln(1.055^t)$

use ln rule $ln(a^b)=b(ln(a))$

$ln(1.55)=t(ln(1.055))$

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

$\frac{ln(1.55)}{ln(1.055)}=t$

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs

so about 8.2yrs

What is the solution to <br> 2x -8 = 2(x - 4 ) ?<br><br> ALSO, explain how you solved it.

Genrish500 [490]

First, you gotta simplify. There’s really nothing to simplify so just take it out of the parenthesis.

2x-8=2x-4

Now turn the -8 into a +8. Add it on each side.

2x=2x+8

Now turn the 2x on the right into a negative. Do the same thing you did with the 8.
Now it’s:

0 = 8

That means there’s no solution.
Hope this helped :)

Consider the linear equation 2/5x+y=11. will you choose to fix x or y?

sukhopar [10]

Y is the easiest to fix because it has no coefficient, and is therefore the easiest to set on the other side of the equation by itself

a man is four times as old as his son in five years time he will be three times as old as his son what is the present age of the

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

I would start by setting up a chart like I did below.

Label one column age now and the other age in 5 years.

Since we don't know the son's age we use x.

We do know that the man's age is 4 times the son's age.

So the man's age will be 4x.

In the age in 5 year column, we add 5 to their current ages.

Now set up our equation.

Since it says "in five years" we use information in second column.

In 5 years time, he, "4x + 5", will be, equals,

3 times as old as his son, "3(x + 5)".

So we have 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5).

Solving from here, we find that x = 10.

So the son is 10 and the man is 4 times his age or 40.
