Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
Answer:
$0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...
(1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4
The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...
1 + x
The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...
(1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4
Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.
If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...
$250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
_____
<u>Example</u>:
For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.

Answer:
Perimeter = 14 in
Area = 8 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 2x2 + 4x1 = 8 in^2
Perimeter = 2+2+2+2+1+4+1 = 14 in
