Use A = P (1 + r/n) ^(nt). Assuming that we're dealing with years here, n = 1, so we have
A = P (1 + r) ^(t), where r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction.
The investment decreases in value, so the common ratio r is (1.000-0.012), or 0.988.
Thus, A = $100,000* (0.988) ^25 = $73947.52 is the current value, after 25 years.
9x - 4(x - 2) =x + 20
We move all terms to the left:
- 9x -4(x - 2) - (x + 20) = 0
Multiply
- 9x - 4x -(x + 20) + 8 = 0
We get rid of the parentheses.
We add all the numbers and all the variables.
We move all terms containing x to the left hand side, all other terms to the right hand side
Ok, so lets evaluate this here:
2/3 (x - 6) - y Let's do the first part: 2/3 (x - 6)
If X = 9 then we subtract 6 from 9 and get 3. Then we multiply
3 by 2/3 and get 2.
Then lets do the 2nd part: 2 - y.
So if y = 5/6, we can first convert 2 into an improper fraction in sixths and have 12/6. Then. we just have to do 12/6 - 5/6 and subtract the numerators and end up with 7/6. The final answer is A, hope this helps!
