Answer: If the time is 3 1/2 years (most reasonable assumption)
Her initial deposit was $160
Step-by-step explanation: The basic formula for simple interest is
<em>i = prt i </em>is interest, P is principal (deposit) r is the percentage (converted to a decimal) and t is time, the number of years.
For this question, you have to rearrange the equation to solve for p.
So divide both sides by rt and you have
p = i/rt
Substitute the values given
p = 36.40/(0.065)(3.5)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
150n to the right
Error: They subtracted 9x from both sides when they should have subtracted 12. You can’t subtract unlike terms
Correct: x=-5/16
Subtract 12 from both sides to get -5 on the left and add 7x and 9x to get 16x. Divide both sides by 16 to isolate x.
