Step-by-step explanation (Question 1):
<u>Step 1: (Question 1): Subtract x from both sides.</u>
5x+3=x+13
5x+3−x=x+13−x
4x+3=13
<u>Step 2: (Question 1): Subtract 3 from both sides.</u>
4x+3−3=13−3
4x=10
<u>Step 3: (Question 1): Divide both sides by 4.</u>
4x/4 = 10/4
FIRST ANSWER: x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation (Question 2):
<u>Step 1: (Question 2): Multiply by LCM</u>
15x^2 - 6 = x
<u>Step 2: (Question 2): Solve 15x^2</u>
15x^2 - 6 = x:
x = 2/3
x = -3/5
<u>Step 3: (Question 2): Solve</u>

Answer:
$2159.07
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound interest formula is used to find the balance for the $1000 investment:
A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)
A = 1000(1 +.012/12)^(12·10) = 1000·1.001^120 ≈ 1127.43
__
For a 2% loss, the multiplier of the investment value is 1-.02 = 0.98. The value of the first $500 investment is ...
A = 500(1 -.02) = 490.00
__
The continuous compounding formula is used for the second $500 investment.
A = Pe^(rt)
A = 500e^(.008·10) = 500e^.08 = 541.64
__
The total value of Albert's investments is ...
$1127.43 +490 +541.64 = $2159.07
