pped adding any additional charges to this card and are determined to pay off the balance. You have worked out the formulabn = b0r n − R(1 + r+r2 +....+ r n−1), where b0 is the initial balance, bn is the balance after you have maden payments, r= 1 + i, wherei is the monthly interest rate, and R is the amount you are planning to pay each month.
c. How long does it take to pay off this debt if you can afford to pay a constant $250 per month? Give the
answer in years and months.

Answer:

It will take 71,35 months, wich can be rounded to 72, or 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The debt will be paid when b_{n} = 0, the formula can be written as:

b_{n} = b_{0} r^{n} - R (\frac{1-r^{n} }{1-r} ) = 0

Solving for n:

\frac{R}{1-r} = \frac{b_{0}r^{n}}{1-r^{n} } = \frac{b_{0}r^{n}}{r^{n}(\frac{1}{r^{n} } -1) }

\frac{1}{r^{n}} = \frac{b_{0}(1-r)}{R}+1= 0,28

r^{n}= \frac{1}{0,28} = 3,5714

Solving the exponential equation:

r^{n} = 3,5714 => n = log_{r} (3,5714) = \frac{log(3,5714)}{log(r)} =71,35

It will take 71,35 months, wich can be rounded to 72, or 6 years

Please solve, -8-2(7r+1)=-94​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

r = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

-8 - 2(7r + 1) = -94

Add 8 to both sides

-2(7r + 1) = -86

Divide both sides by -2

7r + 1 = 43

Subtract 1 from both sides

7r = 42

Divide both sides by 7

r = 6

Hope this Helps

A straight line equals 180 degrees, so the 3 angles in the picture need to equal 180.

X + 90 + 25 = 180

x +115 = 180

Subtract 115 from both sides:

x = 65
