Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7 = 8x - 4\\

Collect like terms and simplify

5x-8x =-4+7\\-3x =3

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{3}{-3} \\\\x =-1

Doss [256]

Answer:

86 years after the $35,885 donation is made

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the total number of years.

Each year they sent $2500, so in n year they send 2500n dollars.

They sent $35,885 to start with, so after n years, they will have sent a total of

2500n + 35,885

We need to find the value of n for which 2500n + 35,885 exceeds $250,000.

2500n + 35,885 > 250,000

2500n > 214,115

n > 214,115/2500

n > 85.6

The first year after 85.6 years have passed is year 86.
