Answer:
B, He is -40 due to it asking which number is his point. If he was positive 40 then he would be on an island or flying in the sky. Your answer is -40
12(3-2x) = 84
do distributive multiplication:
12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84
Deduct 36 to both sides
36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48
divide -24 to both sides
-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2
To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84
Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:
Principal (p) = $20,000
Interest rate (r) = 5.2% = 0.052
Number of compounding (n) = 2 (semi annually)
Time (t) = 3 years
The total return is calculated as shown below:
A = p(1 + r/n)^nt
A = 20000(1 + 0.052/2)^2*3 = 20000(1 + 0.026)^6
A = 20000(1.1665) = 23,330
A = $23,330
No, because x/2 divides x by two, while -2x multiplies x by -2.
lol what is that. delete it
