Move everybody to one side
minus 5x+2 both sides
x^2-5x-2=0
use quadratic formula where
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

1x^2-5x-2=0
a=1
b=-5
c=-2
x=

x=5.372281323 or -0.3722813233
11340
9% of 7000 is 630 then just multiply 630x18 which equals to 11340
If Mike is willing to pay no more than an effective rate of 8.000% annually, the loans that meet his criteria are loan X and loan Z. Of those two, the lowest would be loan X. I hope the answer will help you :)
Answer: number one is d and number 3 is c I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
When we're adding with different denominators, our goal is to keep the equivalent fraction, but create like denominators.
Let's think of an easier situation. If we have the number 5 and we want an equivalent number, we multiply by one. It's no different with fractions. We want to multiply by some version of one, like 2/2 or 4/4
For example, if we have:
2/8 + 4/6
Our LCM is 24. Therefore, we multiply 2/8 by 3/3:
2/8(3/3) = 6/24
And 4/6 by 4/4:
4/6(4/4) = 16/24
As you can see, we multiplied by versions of 1, so they're still the same fraction.
We have:
16/24 + 6/24 = 22/24 = 11/12
Hope this helps!
