Write an equation system based on the problem
"Agatha is five times older than her son, Bob" could be written as:
  a = 5b.......(first equation)
"Three years ago, she was nine times older" could be written as:
  a - 3 = 9(b - 3)......(second equation)

Solve the equation system
To find the value of b, substitute 5b as a to the second equation
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9b - 27
5b - 9b = -27 + 3
-4b = -24
   b = -24/-4
   b = 6
Her son, Bob, is 6 years old

To find Agatha's age, substitute the value of b to the first equation
a = 5b
a = 5 × 6
a = 30
Agatha is 30 years old

Felipe borrowed $8000 at a rate of 16.5%, compounded monthly. Assuming he makes no payments, how much will he owe after 7 years?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$25,193.17

Explanation:

Given:

• Principal Felipe borrowed, P=$8000

,

• Annual Interest Rate, r=16.5%=0.165

,

• Compounding Period, k=12 (Monthly)

,

• Time, t=7 years

We want to determine how much he will owe after 7 years.

In order to carry out this calculation, use the compound interest formula below:

A(t)=P\mleft(1+\frac{r}{k}\mright)^{tk}

Substitute the values defined above:

A(t)=8000\mleft(1+\frac{0.165}{12}\mright)^{12\times7}

Finally, simplify and round to the nearest cent.

\begin{gathered} A(t)=8000(1+0.01375)^{84} \\ =8000(1.01375)^{84} \\ =\$25,193.17 \end{gathered}

After 7 years, Felipe will owe $25,193.17.

Use\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\x^4\cdot x^n=x^5\\\\x^{4+n}=x^5\iff4+n=5\ \ \ |subtract\ 4\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{n=1}
