$2x^2-2x-12=0\\\\2x^2+4x-6x-12=0\\\\2x(x+2)-6(x+2)=0\\\\(x+2)(2x-6)=0\iff x+2=0\ \vee\ 2x-6=0\\\\x=-2\ \vee\ x=3$

$2x^2-2x-12=0\\
2(x^2-x-6)=0\\
2(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0\\
2(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0\\
2(x+2)(x-3)=0\\
x=-2 \vee x=3$

If the principal is $300 rate 3% time 4 years then what is the interest earned and the new balance

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a) Interest earned = $36

New Balance = $336

b) Interest rate = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = $517.5

c) time t = 5

New Balance = $612.5

d) Principal Amount = $675

New Balance = $783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = 3% or 0.03

Time (t)= 4 years

Interest earned = ?

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding interest

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 300\times 0.03\times 4\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 36$

So, Interest earned = $36

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 300+36 = $336

b) a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = ?

Time (t)= 3 years

Interest earned = 67.50

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding rate

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\67.50= 450\times r\times 3\\67.50=1350\times r\\r=\frac{67.50}{1350}\\r=0.05 \ or \ 5\%$

So, Interest rate = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 450+67.50 = $517.5

c) Principal (P) = $500

Rate (r) = 4.5% or 0.045

Time (t)= ?

Interest earned = $112.50

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding time

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\112.50= 500\times 0.045\times t\\112.50=22.5 \times t\\t=\frac{112.50}{22.5}\\t=5$

So, time t = 5

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 500+112.50 = $612.5

d) Principal (P) = ?

Rate (r) = 8% or 0.08

Time (t)= 2 years

Interest earned = 108.00

The formula used is: $Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t$

Putting values and finding Principal

$Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\108=P\times 0.08 \times 2\\108=P\times 0.16\\P=\frac{108}{0.16}\\P=675$

So, Principal Amount = $675

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 675+108 = $783

Mrs. Beachy drove 954 miles to Orlando, Florida in 18 hours. What was her average rate of speed in miles per hour?

Flura [38]

Mrs. Beachy would drive 53mph. How I did it:954÷18(18 can't go into 9.... 95?)Yes, 5 times.954÷18= 5 -(Okay... 95-90 is 5, drop the four... 54?)18x3 is 54!954÷18=54! So the answer is 54mph (Right? I am sure I did that right...)
