-(7x + 4)- 2x + 2 = 52
Distribute the negative sign:
-7x -4 - 2x + 2 = 52
Combine like terms:
-9x - 2 = 52
Add 2 to both sides:
-9x = 54
Divide by -9:
x = -6
Answer: x = -6
Answer:
1941.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we are going to use the future value of annuity due formula:
![FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{kt}-1 }{ \frac{r}{n} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3D%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%29%2AP%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%29%5E%7Bkt%7D-1%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%7D%20%5D)
where

is the future value

is the periodic deposit

is the interest rate in decimal form

is the number of times the interest is compounded per year

is the number of deposits per year
We know for our problem that

and

. To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%:

. Since Ruben makes the deposits every 6 months,

. The interest is compounded semiannually, so 2 times per year; therefore,

.
Lets replace the values in our formula:
![FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{kt}-1 }{ \frac{r}{n} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3D%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%29%2AP%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%29%5E%7Bkt%7D-1%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bn%7D%20%7D%20%5D)
![FV=(1+ \frac{0.1}{2} )*420[ \frac{(1+ \frac{0.1}{2})^{(2)(15)}-1 }{ \frac{01}{2} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3D%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.1%7D%7B2%7D%20%29%2A420%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.1%7D%7B2%7D%29%5E%7B%282%29%2815%29%7D-1%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B01%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5D)
We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>
$29,299.53</span>
Answer:
In decimal 0.428571428
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) y2 = 16, y1 = 19x2=2 and x1=9
The slope = (16 - 19)/(2 -9)
The slope = (-3)/(-7)
The slope = 0.428571428
So in decimal form the coordinates are going to be written as 0.428571428
Slope is the steepness of a line, it is the difference between the y coordinates divided by the difference in x coordinates.
