Mathematics

sasho [114]3 years ago

\frac{ab}{2} = 2a - 1

2(\frac{ab}{2}) = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>

ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>

ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>

a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side

a = \frac{-2}{b - 4} <em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>

Answer: a = \frac{-2}{b - 4}

Mr. Noel borrowed money from his cousin at a rate of 10% simple interest. After 1 year, $440
Alborosie

Answer:

<h2>$400</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the simple interest expressed as;

Simple Interest = Principal * rate * time/100

Note that the principal is the amount he originally borrowed

I = PRT/100 ............ 1

Amount paid off A = Principal+Interest

A = P+I ............ 2

From equation 2; I = A-P......... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 1;

A-P = PRT/100

Given A = $440, R = 10%, Time = 1year

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting equation;

440 - P = P*10*1/100

440-P = 10P/100

440-P = 0.1P

440 = 0.1P+P

440 = 1.1P

Divide through by 1.1;

1.1P/1.1 = 440/1.1

P = $400

<em>Hence the amount Mr Noel originally borrow is $400</em>
