Answer:
3/5 is the number that can be distributed across two terms inside parentheses.
you might not need it but:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>3/5(x - 10)</u> = 18 - 4x - 1
using distributive property, open the parentheses:
<u>3/5x - 6 </u>= 18 - 4x - 1
Simplify:
3/5x + 4x = 17 + 6
4⅗x = 23
x = 5
Using the second equation, let’s find x
x + 7y = 8
x = 8 - 7y
Substitute x in the other equation
3/8(8 - 7y) + 1/3y = 17/24
3 - 21/8y + 1/3y = 17/24
-55/24y = -55/24
y = 1
Plug in y in any equation
x + 7(1) = 8
x + 7 = 8
x = 1
x = 1 and y = 1
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
for this problem you would first figure out what 1/8 of 64 is. 1/8 of 64 is 8.so we do 7*8 to get 56 so 56 of the 64 houses have been sold
Given:
Principal = 17,000
rate = 10.7%
term = x/360
interest = 1,121.72
Interest = Principal * rate * term
1,121.72 = 17,000 * .107 * x/360
1,121.72 = 1,819x / 360
1,121.72 * 360 = 1,819x
403,632 / 1,819 = x
221.90 = x
Lauren Michelle will have to wait 222 days for her investment to earn $1,121.72
Given:
Principal = x
rate = 9%
term = 10 months
interest = 1,687.50
Interest = Principal * rate * term
1,687.50 = x * 0.09 * 10/12
1,687.50 = x * 0.075
1,687.50 / 0.075 = x
22,500 = x
The amount Sandra Leatherwood invested was $22,500.
25/100 = 1/4 (divide both numerator and denominator by 25)
350/1000 = 35/100 = 7/20.
