4/5(15x - 5) Can someone please help me understand the steps. Thank you

1 answer:

4 0

Simple, to make it less harder change 4/5 into 0.8

Making the equation,

0.8(15x-5)

Then just multiply:

take 0.8*15(x)=12x

then

0.8*-5=-4

Making the problem, simplified out, 12x-4.

The equation of line AB is (y-3) = 5 (x - 4). What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line AB?

Nastasia [14]

Y - 3 = 5(x - 4)
y - 3 = 5x - 20
y = 5x - 20 + 3 = 5x - 17
=> slope = 5

For perpendicular line, m2 = -1/m1 = -1/5

Situation C: Maysen invests $10,000 in an account with a compound interest rate of 4.5%. Whose money will double fastest?

The Rule of 72 is a simple way to determine how long an investment will take to double given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return.

Situation A: Matthew invests $5,000 in an account with a compound interest rate of 12%

$\frac{72}{12}=6\ years$
