R = rate
A = P(1-r)^t
A^t = P(1-r)
A^t/P = 1-r
(A^t/P)-1 = -r
r = -((A^t/P)-1)
If you are working with time or days, you can't put in a negative value because if you are doing an experiment, you can't go back in time to do that experiment to gather data. (Time for the most part considered to be an input value so that's why I used it as an example.)
I'm not quite sure these are right. You might wanna check with a classmate or something first.
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x + 10) + (x + 17) + (4x - 34) = 180
11x - 7 = 180
11x = 173
x = 15.73 (answer had repeating decimal so i rounded up in the hundredths place)
(6x + 10)
6 (15.73) + 10
94.38 + 10
104.38
(x + 17)
(15.73) + 17
32.73
(4x - 34)
4(15.73) - 34
62.92 - 34
28.92
Answer:
Upper left: the answer is 2, becuase 2 times 5x = 10x
Upper right: the answer is 4y, because 6 times 4y = 24y
Lower left: the answer is 3, because 3 times 3a+2b = 9a+6b
Lower right: the answer is 3a+2b, because 4 times 3a+2b =12b+8b
