Answer:

b= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

On both sides of the equation has distributive property. We need to solve that first. Let's start with the left side of the equation.

*Positive multiplied by a negative equals a negative

-2b+2(b-10)= 2(10+5b)

-2b+2b-20= 2(10+5b)

-20= 2(10+5b)

Now let's solve the right side of the equation

-20= 20+10b

-20 -20

-40 = 10b

-40/10 = 10b/10

b= -4

Hope this helps!

It you invest S500 at an annual interest rate of 10% compounded continuously, calculate the final

lord [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuous compounding is

$A(t)=Pe^{rt}$ where A(t) is the amount after all the compounding is done, P is the initial investment, r is the rate as a decimal, and t is the time in years. Filling in our info:

$A(t)=500e^{(.1)(5)}$

First raise e to the product of that power to get

$A(t)=500(1.64872171)$

Multiply those numbers together to get A(t) = $824.36
