Answer: $787 was originally borrowed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

From the information given,

Total amount = $1181.05

Interest = total amount - principal

I = 1181.05 - P

R = 15%

T = 1 year

Therefore,

1181.05 - P

Therefore,

1181.05 - P = (P × 15 × 1)/100

1181.05 - P = 0.15P

P + 0.15P = 1181.0

1.5P = 1181.05

P = 1181.05/1.5

P = $787

Solve this equation. 25) v - 6(4v + 6) = -82

grin007 [14]

Answer:

$v = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you solve this equation!

Let's start by simplifying both sides of the equation. It's easier to solve it this way!

$v - 6 (4v + 6) = -82$

Distribute:

$v + (-6) (4v) + (-6) (6) = -82$

$v + -24v + -36 = -82$

Combine 'like' terms:

$(v -24v) + (-36) = -82$

$-23v - 36 = -82$

Next, you'll want to add 36 to both sides of the equation.

$-23v-36 + 36 = -82 + 36$

$-23v = -46$

Finally, divide both sides by $-23$ .

$\frac{-23v}{-23} = \frac{-46}{-23}$

$v = 2$

I hope this helped you! Leave a comment below if you have any further questions! :)
