In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.
We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:
x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3
We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:
x = -3 * 3 = -9
Answer:
✌it sould be easy
Step-by-step explanation:
Just plug in 500 for p, 0.2 for r (because 20% is equivalent to 0.20), and 2 for t:

So, if you start with $500 and charge an interest rate of 20% for 2 years, you will gain $200 to get $700 in total.
Since we are looking for the principal amount, then all we have to do is reverse the process of getting the amount of tax. In order to get the principal, you just have to divide 22 with 0.05. The answer is 440 so that is the principal amount you are looking for.
