Answer: $x=-16$

Subtract 3/8x from both sides

$\frac{3}{4} x+2-\frac{3}{8} x=\frac{3}{8} x-4-\frac{3}{8} x$

$\frac{3}{8} x+2=-4$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$\frac{3}{8} x+2-2=-4-2$

$\frac{3}{8} x=-6$

Multiply both sides by 8/3

$(\frac{8}{3} x)*(\frac{3}{8} x)=(\frac{8}{3} )*-6\\x=-16$

1. Two thousand dollars is invested at 5.5 percent interest compounded

Dafna11 [192]

Two thousand dollars is invested at 5.5 percent interest compounded

quarterly for 2 years. Then the amount is $ 2230.88

Solution:

Given that Two thousand dollars is invested at 5.5 percent interest compounded quarterly for 2 years

The formula for amount using compounded quarterly is given as:

$\text { Amount }=P\left(1+\frac{R / 4}{100}\right)^{4 T}$

Where, "p" is the principal sum

"R" is the rate of interest

"T" is the number of years

Here in this problem,

P = 2000 ; R = 5.5 ; T = 2 years

Plugging in values in formula we get,

$\text {Amount}=2000\left(1+\frac{\frac{5.5}{4}}{100}\right)^{4 \times 2}$

$=2000\left(1+\frac{1.375}{100}\right)^{8}$

On solving we get,

$=2000(1+0.01375)^{8}=2000(1.11544)=2230.88$

Hence the amount is $ 2230.88

Someone help with this midpoint question please

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: D) (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

These are your values.

$(-2,4);(6,-4)$

Remember this means;

$(x_1,y_1);(x_2,y_2)$

The formula for finding the midpoint of a segment is simple. Add both x's and y's and divide them by 2 separately. Or, if you like to follow formulas, here you go.

Let M be midpoint.

$M=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

$M=\frac{-2+6}{2},\frac{4+(-4)}{2}$

$M=\frac{4}{2} ,\frac{4-4}{2}$

$M=\frac{4}{2} ,\frac{0}{2}$

$M=2,0$
