Answer:

-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a word problem.

Step 1: interpretation the question

Let's assume the number is x;

X×7 – 1 = X×5 – 8

7x - 1 = 5x - 8

Step 2. Solve the equation for the unknown.

7x - 1 = 5x - 8

Take like terms together

7x - 5x = - 8 +1

2x = -7

Divide both sides by 2

x = -7/2

The answer is -7/2

I need help finding the answer to this:
anygoal [31]

Answer:

He will earn $6 in interest in 9 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

Initial deposit of $400.

This means that P = 400

2% annual interest

This means that I = 0.02

How much interest will he earn in 9 months?

An year has 12 months, this means that t = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

This is E. So

E = P*I*t = 400*0.02*0.75 = 6

He will earn $6 in interest in 9 months.
