thank you kind person. Here have a picture for you to dream at night :)
6.5 = - 1/2(5) + 9
6.5 = - 2.5 + 9 which is the same as 6.5 = 9 - 2.5
6.5 = 6.5
So yes, this ordered pair IS a solution.
300x .02= 6
6x10=60
Therefore the answer is $360
11,990
9% of 5500 is 495
(495+5500) [one year] x 2 [two years] = $11,990
At the end of 2 years, Aldo will owe $11,990.
