x = 4

First you combine like terms:

8 + 4x = 24

Then solve:

4x = 24 - 8

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

8 - 2x + 6x = 24

The first step is to simply both sides of the equation.

8+-2x+6x=24

(−2x+6x)+(8)=24

4x + 8 = 24

The second step is to subtract 8 from both sides.

4x + 8 -8 = 24 - 8

4x = 16

The third and final step is to divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4.

The idea of using 4 because it's a factor is the wrong choice. If the equation were 5x = 88 and you divide by 4, you aren't getting a single 1x alone. So the "divide because it's a factor" choice is wrong.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the compound interest formula :

$\boxed{\large \boldsymbol {\sf S= a\cdot \ \bigg( 1+\frac{N}{100} \bigg)^{\bigg r} }}$

Where a is the initial price ; N is the percentage at which we increase our price ; r is the years
We know that a=10000 ; N=2,5 % ; r=5
Evalute :

$\sf \displaystyle \large \boldsymbol {} 10000\bigg(1+\frac{25}{1000} \bigg)^{\bigg5 }= 10000\cdot (1,025)^5 =11314.08213 \approx\boldsymbol {\sf 11314} \$
