You can subtract 1 3/4 and 1/8.
Answer:
It will take an interest rate of 8.1% to get 150% of the initial investment in just 5 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for continuous compounding

where r stands for the (annual) interest rate, t for time in years, P for the initial principal (investment) and X is the amount after t years.
(this formula can be beautifully derived from just basic considerations, btw)
We are given t=5, and percent increase on the initial P, so we can solve for r

It will take an interest rate of 8.1% to get 150% of the initial investment in just 5 years.

Answer:
it is a simultaneous equation.
the -9d can be cancelled to find the answer
Answer:
2x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for the perimeter of a reactangle= 2(l+b)
So,
2(l+b) = 10x+18
2(3x+4 + b) = 10x+18
Rearrange and solve
3x+4+b = 5x+9
b = 5x+9 - 3x - 4
b = 2x+5
Thus the measurement of the width = 2x+5
Hope this helps
