Find the balance at the end of 4 years if $10,000 is deposited at a rate of 1.5% simple interest.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Principal amount (P) = $10,000

Rate (R) = 1.5%

Time (T) = 4 years

Simple interest, I = P X R X T / 100

= 10000 X 1.5 X 4 /100

= 60000 / 100

= $600

Therefore, Balance = P + I

= 10000 + 600

= $10600

6 + −28 − x = -2<br> -------------<br> x
nexus9112 [7]
The answer is x=-20.
6+ -28 -x =-2
You first add 28 to each side=6+-x=26 then you minus 6 from each side=-x=20.
Then you divide 20 by -x resulting in x=-20
