Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

3x = x^2 -54

Subtract 3x

3x-3x = x^2 -3x-54

0 = x^2 -3x-54

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -54 and add to -3

-9*6 = -54

-9+6 = -3

0=(x-9) (x+6)

Using the zero product property

x-9=0    x+6=0

x=9  x=-6

The questions asks for the negative solution

x=-6

Holly wants to save money for an emergency. Holly invests 1,500 in an account that pays an interest rate of 6.75%. How many year
lina2011 [118]
The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value 7300
P present value 1500
R interest rate 0.0675
T time?
7300=1500 (1+0.0675)^t
Solve for t
Divide both sides by 1500
7300/1500=1.0675^t
Take the log for both sides
Log (7300/1500)=t×log (1.0675)
Divide both sides by log (1.0675)
T=log(7,300÷1,500)÷log(1.0675)
T=24.2 years round your answer to get 24 years
