Your answer will be (B) simply use military time and subtract them and you'll get your answer best of luck.
well, we're assuming all along that Merina owes Bradford $2000, because in the 1st scenario, she was going to pay twice $1000.
on the 2nd scenario, she'll be paying the same $2000 but split 7 months from now and then 7 months later, same 2000 bucks, at which point Bradford applied 8.5% interest.
using those assumptions, since the wording is not quite clear, we can say that Merina is simply paying 2000 bucks plus the 8.5%

The answer would be 5,318,000 more barrels were consumed by the U.S than Japan
1. 2x+3=4x+2
⇒ 4x-2x=3-2
2x=1
x=1/2
There is one solution.
2. 18p-10p=5+6/2
8p=5+3
8p=8
p=8:8
p=1
3. 6a/3=2a
2a-a= -2 -3
a= - 5
4. 5+r-2=9,
5-2+r=9
3+r=9
r=9 - 3
r=6
5. -0,9 m= 9
m= - 10
6. -2 (x+1/4)=5-1=4
x+1/4= -2
x= -2 - 1/4
x= -8/4 - 1/4= - 9/4
7. 6f+4f= 6 + 12
10 f = 18
f=18/10=1,8
8. 7n - 3n= 16
4n=16
n=16:4
n=4
9. 1/3m-5/6m= - 15 - 3
2/6 m-5/6=-18
- 3/6m=-18 ⇒ 1/2m=18
m=2*18=36
Answer:
x=165
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by 15
15(x/15)=11*15
x=165
