Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Mark is M and his brother is B.
M+5=B
M+B=23
Now we can solve using subsitution.
M+M+5=23
(Subtract 5 from both sides)
2M=18
M=9

The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
Answer: B) $4,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I represents interest paid on the loan.
P represents the principal or amount taken as loan
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration of the loan in years.
Considering Cathy's loan,
P = $20,000
R = 5.2%
T = 10 years
I = (20000 × 5.2 × 10)/100
I = $10400
Considering Steven's loan,
P = $20,000
R = 4.8%
T = 15 years
I = (20000 × 4.8 × 15)/100
I = $14400
The difference between the amounts of interest Cathy and Steven paid for their loans is
14400 - 10400 = $4000
