Start at 0 and move to point P. To do this, we simply move left 1/8 of a unit. Similarly, we move 1/8 of a unit to go from 0 to point Q

So the distance from P to 0 is the same as the distance from Q to 0.

Therefore, the absolute values are the same

Answer: Choice A) Jay is correct because each point is 1/8 a unit away from 0

You borrow $18,000 to buy a new car. You will pay $3,240 in simple interest at the end of 6 years. What is the annual interest r

Allushta [10]

The answer is: " 3 % " .
______________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________
Given: I = Prt ; Solve for "r" ;
______________________________________
Rearrange the equation; to isolate "r" on one side of the equation; then plug in our given values to solve for "r" ;
_________________________________________________
   I = P r t ;
_________________________________________________
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "P*t" (that is: "(Pt)" ;
to get: "r" on one side of the equation ;
_________________________________________________

I / Pt = (Prt) / (Pt) ;

to get: I / Pt = r ;

↔ r = I / Pt ;

GIven: Interest = I = 3240 ;
Principal  = P = 18000 ;
time (in "years") = t = 6 ;
_________________________________________________
Plug in our given values to solve for " r " ("rate") ;
_________________________________________________
r = I / (P t) ;

→ r =  3240 / (18000 * 6) ;

  → r = 3240 / (108000) ;

→ r = 3/100 = 0.03 = 3%

the manager of a summer camp has 14 baseballs and 23 tennis balls. The manager buys some boxes of baseballs with 12 baseballs to

ehidna [41]

To set up an equation correctly, it is important to understand the problem statement and the given values. We do as follows:

initial number of balls = 14 + 23 = 37
number of baseballs per box = 12
number of tennis balls per box = 16

we let x as the number of boxes

Total number of balls = 37 + 12x + 16x
Total number of balls = 37 + 28x
