4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)

Mutiply the first bracket by 4

(4)(x)(4)(2)= 4x+8

Mutiply the second bracket by 3

(3)(x)(3)(-2)= 3x-6

4x+8= 3x-6

Move 3x to the other side

Sign changes from +3x to -3x

4x-3x+8= 3x-3x-6

4x-3x+8= -6

x+8= -6

Move +8 to the other side

Sign changes from +8 to -8

x+8-8= -6-8

x= -14

Answer: x= -14

Begin by clearly stating the problem; you can copy this from the problem set file. Show how you solved the problem step by step,

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

$I=Prt$ , where P is the principal amount, r is rate of interest () in decimal and t is the time ( in years).

Given : P = $19,100 , I=$9932.00 and t= 4 years

Substitute all the above values in the formula , we get

$9932.00=(19100)r(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{9932}{19100\times4}\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{13}{100}=0.13$

In percent , $r=0.13\times100=13\%$

Hence, the rate of interest = 13%
