<h3>20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number. Then the number is 13</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given statement is:</u></em>
20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number
We can translate the sentence into algebraic expression
Let "a" be the unknown number
Then,
20 subtracted from three times "a" is 6 more than "a"
Which means,
3a - 20 = 6 + a
3a - a = 6 + 20
2a = 26
Divide both sides by 2
a = 13
Thus the number is 13
Y-5=-1/2(X-2)
the simplified version of this equation (so you can plug into a calculator) is
Y=-1/2x+6

Principal P = $500, Rate = 3 % = 3/100 = 0.03 would assume per year,
Time t = 6 months = (6/12) year = 0.5 year.
Simple Interest, I = P*r*t
= 500*0.03*0.5 = 7.5
And so therefore your answer is 7.5
