5x+2=47 subtract 2 from both sides
5x=45 divide both sides by 5
x=9
Answer:
The right choice is Esther's
Step-by-step explanation:
Present worth of GH¢ after 3 years is better as its present really worth may be very high than GH¢ a thousand of today. Here fee of interest is not given to compare however GH¢ 3000 after three years will be equivalent to present well worth GH¢ 1000 if charge of interest >44.5% which may be very very excessive. Thus charge of interest > 44.5% Then GH¢ 3000 payable after 3 years could be equivalent to GH¢ 1000 Hence vide has made the proper preference. If interest price >44.5%.
Then Esther's preference will he right. (thinking about time value of money).
Answer:
108 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of magazines = m
Let the number of books = b
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Total number of m & b = 162
<em>Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;</em>
......equation 1
......equation 2
<em>Substituting equation "1" into equation "2" we have;</em>
m = 54
Now to find the number of books;

Substituting the value of "m" into the equation, we have;
<em>b = 108</em>
<em>Therefore, the total number of books in the library is 108 books. </em>
15 - 8
8 + 2 is 10, so there are 5 leftover. 2 + 5 is 7, so 8 + 7 is 15.
