Collect like terms.

8x - 2 + x = 14
9x - 2 = 14
9x = 16

8x+x = 9x (simplifying the x)

9x = 14 - -2
This can be simplified to...
9x = 16

16 / 9 = 1.78
x = 1.78

The answer is 1.78

Hope this helps! :)

We can check each of these using the Pythagorean Theorem, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
Option A:
$.5^2 + 1.2^2 = 1.3^2

$
.25 + 1.44 = 1.691.69 = 1.69
This option works
Option B
$1^2 + 2^2 = 3^2$
1 + 4 = 9
5 ≠ 9
This option does not work, but let's check the others to make sure
Option C:
$6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2$
36 + 64 = 100
100 = 100
This option works
Option D:
$3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25
This option works

So, after doing the calculations, we see that option B does not work

If you borrow $700 for 5 years at

Otrada [13]

The amount you would pay altogether if you borrow $500 for 5 years at

an annual interest rate of 7% is $945.

<h3>How much would you pay altogether?</h3>

The amount you would pay altogether is the sum of the amount borrowed and the interest.

Total value of the debt = interest + amount borrowed

Interest = $700 x 7% x 5 = $245

Total value of the debt = $245 + $700 = $945
