Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3x-8)=4x+6

First you would distribute the 3 on the L side to the parenthasies

9x-24=4x+6

Then, you would subtract 4x from both sides because it is the smallest X value

5x-24=6

Add 24 to both sides (inverse operations)

5x=30

divide both sides by 5

x=6

You deposit $5000 in an account earning 8% interest compounded monthly. How much will you have in the account in 15 years?

Rasek [7]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$5000\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus twelve} \end{array}\dotfill &12\\ t=years\dotfill &15 \end{cases}$

$\bf A=5000\left(1+\frac{0.08}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 15}\implies A=5000(1.00\overline{66})^{180}\implies A\approx 16534.61$

A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on five numbers pays 6 to 1 (that is, if one of the five numbers

tatiyna

Answer:

5 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

So the roulette wheel would have a total of 38 numbers, which means 38 different possible cases. Since you are allowed to bet on 5 numbers, the chance to win this is 5 out of 38 and to lose this is 33 out of 38.

If you win, you get 1 + 6 = 7 dollar, and if you lose, you lose 1 dollar.

Therefore the expected amount out of this game is:

$E = 7\frac{5}{38} - 1\frac{33}{38} = \frac{35}{38} - \frac{33}{38} = \frac{2}{38} = \frac{1}{19} = \$0.0526$

or 5 cents
