I use a bit of a different looking formula.
A(t)=P(1+r/n)^nt
P=amount of money. (500)
r= rate (in decimal. 4%=0.04)
n=number of times per year (1 in this problem)
t=amount of time. (5 years)
Plugged in it looks like this:
A(t)=500 (1+ 0.04/1)^1x5
Then I put it into my calculator like this:
0.04/1+ 0.04
Then add one to the above answer:
0.04+1=1.04
Then raise the above answer to the 1x5:
1.04^5=1.2166......
Then multiply the above answer by 500:
1.2166.... x 500=608.3264512

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
Answer:
The first car was traveling 70 mph, while the second was driving 50 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the cars as a proportion:
X represents the speed of the second car. By cross multiplying, you get the following equation:
You solve by distributing 150 to get 210x = 150x + 3000.
Solving for x gets you 50.
That means the first car was going at 50 mph. Adding 20, you get 70 as the speed for the second car.
Answer:
x=133 y=-25
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll do both ways for you. So let's start with Substitution:
With the sub method, you have to set both equations equal to each other by setting them equal to the same variable. Since there is no coefficient in front of both x's in both equations, that variable will be easiest to solve for.
x + 2y = 83 & x + 5y = 8
Solve for x.
x = 83 - 2y & x = 8 - 5y
Once you have solved for x, set each equation equal to one another and solve for y now.
83 - 2y = 8 - 5y
Isolate all variables to one side:
83 = 8 - 3y
Now subtract the 8 to fully isolate the y variable:
75 = -3y
Divide by -3:
-25 = y Now that you have your first variable, plug it into one of the original equations and solve for x.
x + 2(-25) = 83
x - 50 = 83
x = 133
Now for the Elimination method. For this method you need to get rid of a variable by either subtracting/adding each equation together. Again, since you can subtract and x from both equations, you will be left with only the y variable to solve:
Put each equation on top of one another and subtract:
x + 2y = 83
- (x + 5y = 8)
The x's will cancel out:
(x - x) + (2y - 5y) = (83 - 8)
Simplify:
-3y = 75
Solve for y
y = -25
Then, plug y = -25 into one of the original equations:
x + 5(-25) = 8
Solve for x:
x - 125 = 8
x = 133
Hope this helps!
