now, assuming is simple interest applied.

bearing in mind that 6 months is not even a year, is really 6/12 of a year.

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill&1876.50\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\\ r=rate\to 8.5\%\to \frac{8.5}{100}\dotfill &0.085\\ t=years\to \frac{6}{12}\dotfill &\frac{1}{2} \end{cases} \\\\\\ 1876.50=P\left[ 1+(0.085)\left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \right]\implies 1876.5=P(1.0425) \\\\\\ \cfrac{1876.5}{1.0425}=P\implies 1800=P

Solve for x<br> 9 - x &lt; 17<br><br> btw the &lt; has the line underneath it!
Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - x ≤17

At some point you are going to have to turn the equation around. This would not normally be your first step, but this time it is better to start with it.

We won't do it directly. The best way to do it is to add x to both sides before you do anything else. This is not the usual way to solve these equations, but it's a good time to learn.

Inequality Rule: you must always solve for x. If it is -x then you are going to have to make an adjustment to get the x to be positive.

9 - x ≤ 17                        Add x to both sides

9 - x+x ≤ 17 + x              Combine

9 ≤ 17 + x                      Subtract 17 from both sides.

9 - 17 ≤ 17 - 17 + x

8 ≤ x

Notice that you have effectively changed the ≤ sign around, not because you have, but because the x reads differently now. It started out 9 - x ≤ 17 and when you finish solving it you get 8 is less than or equal to x. Entirely different.

1.) The check number on a check:
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

D) Identifies the transaction and is located at the top right corner of the check

Step-by-step explanation:

The check number on a check is the number located at the top right corner of the check, and it can also be found at the bottom of the check, located in lower right corner after the routing number and the account number

The check number aids in the tracking and identifying bank transactions such as to identify checks that the bank has processed and to know outstanding checks that are yet to be processed.

The check number also aids in balancing of the checkbook.

Therefore, the check number on a check identifies the transactions and is located at the top right corner of the check.
