Hello there

the answer is x=2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−8=−7(−4x+8)+8(x−3)

−8=(−7)(−4x)+(−7)(8)+(8)(x)+(8)(−3)(Distribute)

−8=28x+−56+8x+−24

−8=(28x+8x)+(−56+−24)(Combine Like Terms)

−8=36x+−80

−8=36x−80

Step 2: Flip the equation.

36x−80=−8

Step 3: Add 80 to both sides.

36x−80+80=−8+80

36x=72

Step 4: Divide both sides by 36.

36x

x=2

Thank you

If the marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.25, investment spending (I) is $600 million, and the government increases its purc

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 0.25

Investment spending (I) = $600 million

Government purchases increases by $150 million

MPC - Marginal propensity to consume

MPC + MPS = 1

MPC = 1 - 0.25

= 0.75

Government spending multiplier = $\frac{1}{1 - MPC}$

= $\frac{1}{1 - 0.75}$

= 4

Increase in Real GDP = Government spending multiplier × Increase in government purchases

= 4 × 150

= $600 million

madam [21]

Answer:

D. $1 comma 000 billion increase

The reserve requirement ratio determines the total amount of checkable deposits a bank must keep.

In this case the reserve ratio it's 5%, which means that the total amount of deposits cannot exceed an amount equal to 20 times its reserves.

If the reserves increase by $50 billion then $50/0,05 = 1.000 billion increase.

if the interest rate on a savings account is 0.018%, approximately how much money do you need to keep in this account for 1 year

scZoUnD [109]

A = $9.99, the amount needed after 1 year
r = 0.018% = 0.00018, interest rate
n = 12, compoundings per year
t = 1, one year duration

Let P = required balance at the beginning of the year.
Then
$P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt} = A$
P(1 + 0.00018/12)¹² = 9.99
1.00018P = 9.99
P = $9.988 ≈ $9.99

Answer: $9.99
