Solve the equation above

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago

Answer:

X = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 X (5X-8) = -9

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2

5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)

5 x -8 = -18

Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides

5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8

Then eliminate the opposites

5X = -18 + 8

Calculate the sum

5X = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -2

Michelle opened a savings account for her emergency fund. She deposited $2,000 into her account, which earns 2.10% interest, com
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: she will have $2042.4 have in the account after 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $2000

r = 2.1% = 2.1/100 = 0.021

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 1 year

Therefore,

A = 2000(1 + 0.021/12)^12 × 1

A = 2000(1 + 0.00175)^12

A = 2000(1.00175)^12

A = $2042.4
