Your answer would be

A. Adding 7x to both sides of the equation

And in doing so, you'd start your first step to having "like terms" on "like sides"
by having all "x's" on the right side of your equivalent sign "="

Jess deposited $5,000 into an account that earns simple interest. After 9 years, Jess had earned $3,150 in interest. What was th

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The interest rate of Jess's account was 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P * (1 + rt)

A = final amount

P = initial principal balance

r = annual interest rate

t = time (in years)

Replacing with the values we know:

A = P * (1 + rt)

8,150 = 5,000 * (1 + r * 9)

8,150/5,000 = 1 + 9r

1.63 = 1 + 9r

1.63 - 1 = 9r

0.63 = 9r

r = 063/9

r = 0.07 = 7%

The interest rate of Jess's account was 7%

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A be the event that a randomly selected voter has a favorable view of a certain party’s senatorial candidate, and let B be the corresponding event for that party’s gubernatorial candidate.

Suppose that

P(A′) = .44, P(B′) = .57, and P(A ⋃ B) = .68

From the above we can find out

P(A) = $1-0.44 = 0.56$
