Because you're trying to make them congruent, equal the two expressions to each other.
So, for #10 you would equal them so it would look like this.
2x+2=5x-19
Then you would just go ahead and simplify
2x+2=5x-19
-2x -2x
---------------
2= 3x -19
+19 +19
---------------
21=3x
--- ----
3 3
x=7
This means that x should be 7. You can check this just by plugging it in
2x+2
2(7)+2 = 16
5x-19
5(7)-19= 16
Same with #11.
x+8=3x-14
-x -x
--------------
8=2x-14
+14 +14
--------------
22=2x
--- ----
2 2
x=11
Check.
x+8
11+8= 19
3x-14
3(11) - 14 = 19
Answer:
What?
Step-by-step explanation:
You should go by 0.001
so you can graph 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, and so on
I'll use my own formula (similar to yours tho)

A=future amount
p=invested
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times per year compounded
t=time in years
so
when will A=2P
subsitute 2P for A
also quarterly means 4 times a year or n=4
and 12%=0.12=r
so

divide both sides by P

simplify


take the ln of both sides



divide both sides by 4ln(1.03)
