Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation

18-7x= -20.5

-7x=-20.5-18

7x=38.5

x=38.5/7=5.5

Answer

x = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equation up as 18 - 7x = -20.5

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation. 18-18 cancels out leaving you with -7x. -20.5 - 18 = -38.5 .

The new equation is -7x = -38.5 .

Divide both sides by -7. -7 cancels out leaving you with x and -38.5/ -7 = 5.5 .

To check your answer plug 5.5 into the equation. 18 - 7(5.5)= -20.5 . 7(5.5) is  38.5 . 18 - 38.5 = -20.5

Your bank account is sitting on $14,000. You started with a principal balance of $12,500. If the interest rate was 4.5% compound
Simora [160]

Answer:

t=2.5\ years  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

A=P(e)^{rt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

t=?\ years\\ P=\$12,500\\P=\$14,000\\ r=4.5\%=4.5/100=0.045  

substitute in the formula above   and solve for t

14,000=12,500(e)^{0.045t}  

Simplify

14,000/12,500=(e)^{0.045t}  

1.12=(e)^{0.045t}  

Apply ln both sides

ln(1.12)=ln[(e)^{0.045t}]  

ln(1.12)=(0.045t)ln(e)  

Remember that

ln(e)=1  

so

ln(1.12)=(0.045t)  

t=ln(1.12)/(0.045)  

t=2.5\ years

15 is 30% of what number?
777dan777 [17]
15 is 30% of 50 

Change the percentage to a decimal by dividing it over 100:
\frac{30}{100} = 0.3

Divide 15 over 0.3:
\frac{15}{0.3} = 50

Your friend is 1.2 times taller than you. Your friend is 64.5 inches tall. How tall are you?
krok68 [10]
You have to divide your friends weigh by 1.2 to get  the result. : if you were 1.2 times taller than they, you would multiply, so the oppisite is dividing!

so  it will be 64.5/1.2=53.75.

Could someone please tell me or explain how to solve these types of equations?? you don’t have to do these problems specifically
Lunna [17]
Okay so you know a straight line is equal to 180 degrees, so you set them up in an algebraic equation. (5x+2)+48=180 subtract 48 first to get 5x+2=132 Subtract the 2 this time to get 130. Now you end up with 5x=130. Here you divide 130 by 5 to get X=26. If you just need to find the degree of that angle tho you can stop after the first subtraction because the math tells you (5x+2)=132 degrees.
