We need to use the formula for simple interest which is
I= prt
Where I is the amount of money you earned or pay in interest
p is the principal, the amount you deposited or borrowed
r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal
t is time in terms of years
In this problem, I= 1,680
p= 3000
t= 8
'. r is what we are looking for.
Substituting the numbers into the simple interest formula, we get
I=. p r t
1,680=(3000)(r)(8). Multiplying
1,680= 24,000r Divide both sides by 24,000
0.07= r
So, the percentage is (0.07)(100)= 7%...
<u>Find fraction of snappers and catfish:</u>
1/3 + 2/9 = 3/9 + 2/9 = 5/9
<u>Find fraction of goldfish:</u>
1 - 5/9 = 4/9
4/9 = 40 goldfish
1/9 = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
9/9 = 10 x 9 = 90
Answer: 90 fish in the tank
X+x-17+39=180
2x+22=180
Subtract 22 from both sides
2x=158
X= 79
Answer:
B) 4x-5-3x=x+5 has no solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 4x+4=4-4x
4x-(-4x)+4=4
4x+4x+4=4
8x+4=4
8x=4-4
8x=0
x=0/8
x=0
------------------
B) 4x-5-3x=x+5
4x-3x-5=x+5
x-5=x+5
x-x-5=5
-5=5
no solution.
------------------------
C) 4x+15-9x=5x+15
4x-9x+15=5x+15
-5x+15=5x+15
-5x-5x+15=15
-10x+15=15
-10x=15-15
-10x=0
x=0/-10
x=0
------------------------
D) 4x+2-x=4+3x-2
3x+2=3x+4-2
3x+2=3x+2
infinitely many solutions.
