well, we're assuming all along that Merina owes Bradford $2000, because in the 1st scenario, she was going to pay twice $1000.
on the 2nd scenario, she'll be paying the same $2000 but split 7 months from now and then 7 months later, same 2000 bucks, at which point Bradford applied 8.5% interest.
using those assumptions, since the wording is not quite clear, we can say that Merina is simply paying 2000 bucks plus the 8.5%

Answer:
The length of PQ is 64 units
Answer:
x=8/21
Step-by-step explanation:
(3/4)/(2/7) = 1/x
(3/4)x = (2/7)
x = (2/7) / (3/4)
x = (2/7) * (4/3)
x = 8/21

Answer:
0, 1, 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 3x <= 7
-3x <= 2
x >= -2/3 (the inequality sign flips as we are dividing by a negative value)
4x + 1 < 13
4x < 12
x < 3.
So the integer values satisfying the inequalities are>
0, 1, 2.
