Answer:

14/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the 3 into the one half by multiplying the 3 by the denominator. So now you have -7/2.

Then, make a common denomitator of 4, so you multiply top and bottom of fraction by 2 to get -14/4

Then, divide both sides of the equation by -11/4, and to do this, just multiply by the reciprocal of -4/11

-14/4 x -4/11 = 56/44

Simplify and get 14/11

9514 1404 393

Answer:

4254.31

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest multiplier is ...

m = (1 +r/n)^(nt) . . . . annual rate r compounded n times per year, t years

For 11% compounded quarterly for 18 years, the multiplier is ...

m = (1 +0.11/4)^(4·18) = 1.0275^72 ≈ 7.0516671

If 30,000 is the future value, then the present value is ...

PV = FV/m = 30,000/7.0516671

PV ≈ 4254.31
