To solve for X you need to simplify both sides on the equation
<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span><span>4x</span>−5</span>)</span></span>=8

</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>4x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>−5</span>)</span></span></span>=8 *</span>Distribute*

<span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>=<span>8

after that you add 10/3 on both sides

</span></span><span><span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>+10/3</span>=<span>8+10/3</span></span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>=<span>34/<span>3

finally multiply 3/8 on both sides
</span></span></span><span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span><span>8/3</span>x</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span>34/3</span><span>)

and your answer should be
X= 17/4
</span></span></span>

Michael started a savings account with $100. After 6 weeks, he had $140, and after 12 weeks, he had $260. What is the rate of ch

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Rate of change of money in Michael's account will be $20 per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a graph for the duration of investment on x-axis and amount in the account on y-axis, ordered pairs for both the conditions will be,

After 6 weeks, amount in the account = $140

Ordered pair : (6, 140)

After 12 weeks, amount in the account = $260

Ordered pair : (12, 260)

Rate of change in hi account per week = $\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}$

= $\frac{260-140}{12-6}$

= $\frac{120}{6}$

= $20 per week

Therefore, rate of change of money in Michael's account will be $20 per week.
