Parentheses first

9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7

Combine like terms

9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7

add 38 to both sides

12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38

12q = 45

divide both sides by 12

q = 45/12
q = 3.75

What is the rate of decay for the function f(x) =2(0.95)^x ( x is on top of the parentheses)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The decay rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a substance is decaying at the rate of r% per hour from the initial value of P for t hours, then the final value of the substance is given by the function  

f(t) = P(1 - \frac{r}{100})^{t} ........... (1)

Comparing this equation with the original equation given as

f(x) = 2(0.95)^{x} ............ (2) we get,

(1 - \frac{r}{100}) = 0.95

⇒ \frac{r}{100} = 0.05

⇒ r = 5%.

Therefore, the decay rate is 5%. (Answer)

A savings account earns 15% interest annually. What is the balance after 8 years in the savings account when the initial deposit
natita [175]

The balance after 8 years is $22,942.67

<h3>What is the balance after 8 years?</h3>

We know that the savings account earns 15% annually, and the initial deposit is $7500, then the balance as a function of time in years is:

B = $7500*(1 + 15%/100%)^t

B = $7500*(1.15)^t

The balance after 8 years is what we get when we evaluate the above function in t = 8, so we get:

B = $7500*(1.15)^8 = $22,942.67

So the correct option is the last one.

Brielle and Joshua are running a half marathon race, which is 13.1 miles long. It takes Brielle 10 minutes to run 1.25 miles and
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Brielle will run the marathon faster.

Brielle = 104.8 minutes  

Joshua = 157.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed rate = distance /time

Brielle = 1.25 /10 = 0.125 miles per minute

Joshua = 1.5/18 = 0.083333 =1/12 miles per minute

Since 0.125 (Brielle) > 1/12 (Joshua)

Brielle will run the marathon faster.

To calculate the time that takes each one to run the entire race (13.1 miles)

Time= distance / speed

  • Brielle = 13.1 /0.125 = 104.8 minutes
  • Joshua = 13.1 / (1/12)= 157.2 minutes

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

What is the y intercept of 2y - 2x = 8
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write in y = mx + b form

here, b ----> y intercept

2y - 2x = 8

     2y = 2x + 8         {Divide the equation by 2}

       \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}+\frac{8}{2}\\

        y = x + 4

y-intercept = 4
