3(x-2)=8 is the equation. Distribute the 3 in to the parenthesis. 3x-6=8 is what you get. Add 6 to both sides to get 3x=14. Divide each side by 3. Then, you get x=4.67. Hope this helps! ;)
Year 1: 500 + 0.25*500 = 500 [1 + 0.25]
Year 2: 500*[ 1 + 0.25] * [1 + 0.25] = 500 [1 + 0.25]^2
Year x: 500 [1 + 0.25]^x
Option d: A(x) = 500[1 + .25]^x, where .25 is the interest rate
Answer:
We know that the sum of the first two sides is greater than the largest side.
7 + 11 > x
x is the third side.
18 > x
x < 18
The sides of the triangle are 7, 11, and 17.
The product = 7 × 17 = 119
