11 more than five if a certain number is twenty more than 2 times of that number. what is the number?

1 answer:

4 0

11 more than five of a certain number would be written as 5x+11 and it is (means equal to) twenty more than two times that number, which would be 2x+20. So the equation would be
5x+11=2x+20
-2x -2x (get the x's on one side)
3x+11=20
-11 -11 (get the numbers on one side)
3x=9
/3 /3 (divide by 3, so you can get the x by itself)
X=3 (the number is 3)

Answer:

After 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $8000

r = 6% = 0.046

n = 12

The compound interest is given by:

$A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}$

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years.

Putting the values, we get,

$13709.60 = 8000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\dfrac{13709.60}{8000} = \bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.7137 = (1.005)^{12t}\\\Rightarrow t \approx 9$
