Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

you must first distribute the 3 into the (x-4). then you have 2x+3x-12=8. Then you combine like terms meaning you add 2x and 3x together and have 5x. Now you have 5x-12=8. Then add 12 on both sides so now you have 5x= 20 and finally you have to divide both sides by 5 and then your answer is x=4

How many days would it take a construction loan of $548,048 to earn$50,000 exact interest at 9% interest rate?

san4es73 [151]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\to &50000\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$548048\\
r=rate\to 9\%\to \frac{9}{100}\to &0.09\\
t=years
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
50000=548048\cdot 0.09t\implies \cfrac{50000}{0.09(548048)}=t\implies 1.014\approx t$
