6(x + -1) = 9(x + 2)
Reorder the terms:
6(-1 + x) = 9(x + 2)
(-1 * 6 + x * 6) = 9(x + 2)
(-6 + 6x) = 9(x + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6x = 9(2 + x)
-6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9)
-6 + 6x = (18 + 9x)
Solving
-6 + 6x = 18 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x
-6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-6 + -3x = 18 + 0
-6 + -3x = 18
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -3x = 18 + 6
-3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24
-3x = 24
Divide each side by '-3'.

Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
hi
Step-by-step explanation:
Total road length is 36 miles.
If one crew’s rate is x miles/day, the other is 1.4x miles/day.
The collective distance per day is x+1.4x,
so in five days the distance is 5(x+1.4x).
Set that equal to the total distance:
5(x+1.4x)=36
simplify:
x+1.4x=7.2
x(1+1.4)=7.2
x(2.4)=7.2
x=3
Answer:
Principal = 3500
Time = 8 years
We are given that compound quarterly
So, No. of compounds per year = 2
Rate of interest = 5%
Formula : 
Substitute the values :
Interest = 3863.345 - 3500 = 363.345
Hence the total amount in an investment of $3500 that was compounded quarterly for 8 years at a rate of 5% is $3863.345 and the interest that was made on that account mentioned is $363.345
