Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the rectangular poster shown in the picture, you know that its dimensions (its width and its lenght) are:

In order to calculate the dimensions of the rectangular at
times its current size, you need to multiply the original lenght by
and multiply the original width by
.
Knowing this, you get:

A variable is an unknown like x so
first we start with
x=8
then we subtract (because you must add to reverse subtraction)
x-2=8-2
x-2=6
then we divide ( because you must multiply to reverse division)
(x-2)/3=6/3
(x-2)/3=2
find x
Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
on squaring both sides
either x-2=0 or x+8=0
either x=2 or x=-8
Putting x=2 in original equation, we get
7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution
Putting x=-8 in original equation
i.e. 3=-3
Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)
If it's compounded annually, it basically means the interest rate will apply once a year.
So the answer will be 1.
