It's scientific notation, so 1.4x10^7 would be 14000000 <span />
Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
The answer is "<span>the number of times the account compounds interest</span>".
The general formula is the following:

wherein r is the interest rate compound each four months.
Since there is 3*4 months in a year, then each year we compute the interest Three time, there where the factor 3 comes.
20 000 * 0.08(8%)= 1600
1600 * 20(years) = 32 000
Therefore you would have $32 000 after 20 years
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can substitute the first equation into the second:
-3x+3=5x+19
Add 3x on both sides:
3=8x+19
Subtract 19 on both sides:
-16=8x
Divide 8 on both sides:
x=-2
