Answer:
x = 8/7
Step-by-step explanation:
.2(.7x-5)+0.2=1.4(x-1.6) . . . . given
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.14x -1 +0.2 = 1.4x -2.24
1.44 = 1.26x . . . . . . . add 2.24-0.14x to both sides
x = 1.44/1.26 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x = 8/7 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify the fraction
__
As a repeating decimal, the value of x is ...
However, the notation 1.(142857) is usually reserved for the case where the contents of parentheses are being multiplied by the factor in front. You would need to consult your instructions to see how the decimal version of the answer should be entered. (Quite often, rounding is suggested.)

Answer:
Option A earns higher interest($84115.58)
the difference in interest between the two option is $197.9
Step-by-step explanation:
In the problem we are going to apply both the simple interest formula and compound interest formula and compare which has the best/higher returns
Given data
Principal P= $43,000
Rate r= 6%= 0.06
time t= 3years
n= 4 (applicable for compound interest compounded quarterly)
solving for option A gives her 6% compounded quarterly
the compound interest formula is
Interest is =$8411.58
solving for option B which gives her 6% simple interest annually
the simple interest formula is
Interest is= $8213.68
calculating the diference in interest between the two options we have
= $197.9
Option A earns higher interest
