Square both sides
9(x + 2) = x + 4
Expand
9x + 18 = x + 4
Subtract x from both sides
9x + 18 - x = 4
Simplify 9x + 18 - x to 8x + 18
8x + 18 = 4
Subtract 18 from both sides
8x = 4 - 18
Simplify 4 - 18 to -14
8x = -14
Divide both sides by 8
x = -14/8
Simplify 14/8 to 7/4
<u>C. x = -7/4</u>
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the answer is 8
0 quarters, 4 dimes, 12 nickels
4x3=12
12x5=60
4x10=40
60+40=100
Given:
Proceeds = $14,500
discount rate = 11%
term = 150 days
Simple discount note:
Discount = Maturity Value * discount rate * term
Proceeds from simple discount note:
proceeds = Maturity Value - discount
We will have to work back:
Discount = Maturity Value * 0.11 * 150/360
Discount = Maturity Value * 0.045833
Discount is 0.045833 of the Maturity Value. The proceeds is net of the Discount so we simple deduct 0.045833 from 1 to get the portion of the proceeds as compared to the Maturity Value.
14,500 / (1-0.045833) = 14,500 / 0.95416 = 15,196.61
My figure is nearest to choice A. $15,196.51
Answer: a.) -1 2/3
explanation: -2 1/6 - 1 1/4= -13/6 - 5/4= -41/12 ; 1 3/4= 7/4 ; -41/12 + 7/4= -5/3 ; -5/3= -1 2/3
