For some number x, we subtract 0.1x and get 171.

So we have:
x-0.1x=171
\rightarrow 0.9x=171
\rightarrow x=190

Solve the simultaneous Equation using the two <br> methods<br>4m=n +7<br>3m+ 4n+9=0​
GrogVix [38]

Elimination method:

4m = n + 7

3m + 4n + 9 = 0

<em>First, let's get the equations in the same form.</em>

4m - n - 7 = 0

3m + 4n + 9 = 0

<em>Now let's make multiply the first equation by 4 so we can eliminate n.</em>

16m - 4n - 28 = 0

+3m + 4n + 9 = 0

<em>Now we can add the equations.</em>

16m + 3m - 4n + 4n - 28 + 9 = 0

19m + 0n - 19 = 0

19m - 19 = 0

19m = 19

<em>m = 1</em>

<em>Now we put m back into one (or both) of the original equations.</em>

4(1) = n + 7

4 = n + 7

<em>n = -3</em>

<em>If you plug m into the other equation, you get the same result.</em>

<em />

Substitution method:

4m = n + 7

3m + 4n + 9 = 0

<em>With this method, we plug one of the equations into the other one. I'm going to use m in the second equation as a substitute for m in the second equation.</em>

3m + 4n + 9 = 0

3m = -4n - 9

m = (-4/3)n - 3

<em>Now I can substitute the right side into the first equation like so:</em>

4[(-4/3)n - 3] = n + 7

(-16n)/3 - 12 = n + 7

(-16n)/3 = n + 19

-16n = 3(n + 19)

-16n = 3n + 57

0 = 16n + 3n + 57

0 = 19n + 57

0 = 19n/19 + 57/19

0 = n + 3

<em>-3 = n</em>

<em>And then we put that back into one of the original equations.</em>

4m = n + 7

4m = -3 + 7

4m = 4

<em>m = 1</em>

Hopefully you learned something from this.

Express the amount that results from 100 dollars invested at 5 percent compounded continuously after a period of 2 years.
nalin [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $110.52

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the amount resulting from continuous compounding is ...

  A = P·e^(rt) . . . . . principal P compounded continuously at annual rate r for t years

Using your values, we have ...

  A = 100·e^(0.05·2) = 100e^0.1 = 110.52

The resulting amount is $110.52.

Solve the nonlinear inequality. Express the solution using interval notation. -7&lt;3-2x&lt;-2
erastova [34]

Answer:

5/2<x<5

Step-by-step explanation:

-7<3-2x<-2

or -7-3<-2x<-2-3

or -10<-2x<-5

or -10/-2>x>-5/-2

or 5>x>5/2

or 5/2<x<5

Therefore, 5/2<x<5 is the solution.
