Answer:

2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is calculated using the formula: I = prt, where I = the amount of interest earned, p = principal amount, r = rate and t = time. In this case, you know the principal = $2000, the rate = 1.5% or 0.015 and the I = $60, so you are solving for time 't':

I = prt or $60 = $2000(0.015)t

Simplify: 60 = 30t

Divide both sides by 30: 60/30 = 30t/30 or t = 2 years.

Factor -7x3 + 21x2 + 3x - 9 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$(x-3)(-7x^2+3)$ is the resulting expression after grouping

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$-7x^3+21x^2+3x-9$

Now taking common $-7x^2$ from 1st 2 numbers and and 3 common from last we get

$-7x^2(x-3)+3(x-3)$

Now taking x-3 common from both numbers we get

$(x-3)(-7x^2+3)$ which is the final equation after grouping

Round 36.11 to the nearest tenth

Vilka [71]

To round to the nearest tenth - look at the number to the right of the tenth value ( the hundredth) and follow the rule
5 or more round up, 4 or less round down
As 1 is lower than 4, we round down.
36.11 therefore rounds down to 36.1
