So lets write this equation out. Let x be that number we are trying to find.
So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this
5/7
when you see the word "of" that means multiplication
so we can write the full equation.
(5/7)x = -35
now we can solve
Multiply both sides by 7
5x = -245
now divide by 5
and we get
x = -49
ANSWER
$1,413.81
EXPLANATION
The compound interest formula is given by:
Where P=900 is the balance in the account, t=10 is the number of years and r=0.0462 is the rate.
We substitute the values in to the formula to get:
This simplifies to:
Therefore $1413.81 will be in the account after 10 years.
I think there was 17 boys at the beginning of the concert. But i don't know how to put it in terms of P
Well, you can only combine the numbers with the variable (the x) in front of them, since there’s no other number on the left side of the equation to combine that lone number with
(example: 3x+2+5x; you can only add 3x and 5x together since 2 has no x).
So 3x and -2/9x would be your answer.
