Ist amount paid = $1500
Making $350 for 10 months = 10*350 = $3500
Total amount paid = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the ten month period.
I = PRT
Interest, I = 5000 - 4500 = 500Time, t = 10 months = 10/12 = (5/6) year.Principal P = 4500
R = I /(PT) R = 500 / (4500*5/6)
R = (500*6) / (4500*5)
R = 0.1333..
R ≈ 13.33 % per annum.

Answer:
(2.83 , 1 , 4)
Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite these equations in matrix form
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&-1\\4&-2&-2\\3&3&-4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\2\\-4\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%26-1%5C%5C4%26-2%26-2%5C%5C3%263%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C2%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
we can write it like this,

so to solve it we need to take the inverse of the 3 x 3 matrix A then multiply it by B.
We get the inverse of matrix A,
![A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7/15&1/6&-1/5\\1/3&-1/6&0\\3/5&0&-2/5\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%5E%7B-1%7D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%2F15%261%2F6%26-1%2F5%5C%5C1%2F3%26-1%2F6%260%5C%5C3%2F5%260%26-2%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C)
now multiply the matrix with B
![X=A^{-1}B\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7/15&1/6&-1/5\\1/3&-1/6&0\\3/5&0&-2/5\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\2\\-4\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2.83\\1\\4\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=X%3DA%5E%7B-1%7DB%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%2F15%261%2F6%26-1%2F5%5C%5C1%2F3%26-1%2F6%260%5C%5C3%2F5%260%26-2%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C2%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2.83%5C%5C1%5C%5C4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
Answer:
x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 -2(x +5)= 3x -15
Expand:
5 -2x -2(5)= 3x -15
5 -2x -10= 3x -15
Simplify:
-2x -5= 3x -15
Bring x terms to 1 side, constant to the other:
3x +2x= 15 -5
5x= 10
Divide both sides by 5:
x= 10 ÷5
x= 2
