Furkat [3]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The statement

twice a number is written as

2x

The sum of twice a number and seven is written as

2x + 7

The result is 13

So we have

2x + 7 = 13

Subtract 7 from both sides

That's

2x + 7 - 7 = 13 - 7

2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2

That's

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{6}{2}

We have the final answer as

<h2>x = 3</h2>

Hope this helps you

nataly862011 [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Carl and Sure are planning to buy a new home. They will both retire in 16 years and do not want to have a house payment at that time. Which offer should they choose?

Offer 1                                           Offer 2                                      

Rate: 7%                                         Rate: 6%                                                      

Time(years): 30                            Time (years): 25

Loan Amount: $200,000             Loan Amount: $200,000  

Monthly Payment: $1,330.60       Monthly Payment: $1,288.60

Total Financed:$479,017.80         Total Financed: $386,580.84

Offer 3

Rate: 5%

Time (years): 15

Loan Amount: $200,000

Monthly Payment: $1581.59

Total Financed: $284,685.71

Solution :

It is given in the question that Carl and Sue are planning to purchase a new house for them. Both of them are going to retire after 16 years from now and they do not want to have any house loan to pay at their retirement time.

So from the offers, Carl and Sue should take the Offer 3 to buy a home for them. This is because rate of interest for the loan amount is less as compared to the other two offers and also loan will be completed within 15 years from now. So they will not have any loan payment at their retirement period.

Therefore, they should choose Offer 3.
