Let's take the number as x.
two-fifths of a number = 2x / 5
decreased by 3 = (2x/5) - 3
(2x/5) - 3
(2*25/5) - 3
(2*5) - 3
10 - 3

Answer Interest rate = 12.3%
The compound interest formula is given by:
Where
A = Future amount
P = Present amount (Principal amount)
r = Interest rate in decimal form
n = No. of times compounded per year
t = time in years.
We can say that if:
Present amount = P
Future amount = 3P
r = 12.3/100 = 0.123
n = 1
t = ?
Substitute the values in the formula of compound interest:
Taking log on both sides.
Round off to nearest option
t ≅ 9 years
Answer:
8x + 12 = 12 + 8x
0 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute then simplify
Y - 4.5 = 12.2
your solving for y which means your trying to get rid of 4.5 so that y can equal something. The opposite of -4.5 would be +4.5, so you would add 4.5 to both sides to get
y = 16.7
So your answer would be
A. Add 4.5
and also dont' say your stupid because all you need is a little explanation and you'll get it, its very easy you just need to take the time to practice :-)
