The national interest rate on houses for 25 years is 4.3%. The banker wishes to test that the local interest rates are lower than the national rate. So he should use the initial data of 4.3% interest as his base data. Then he should investigate the rates of houses in the local vicinities and compare it to his base data.
Answer:
clever
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = AB + BC
Since we know what each variable equals, we can write out the equation as shown:
47 = 5x + 3x - 1
Combining like terms:
47 = 8x - 1
Add 1 on both sides:
48 = 8x
Divide 8 on both sides:
X = 6
Now that we know what X equals, we can solve BC.
BC = 3(6) - 1
BC = 18 - 1
BC = 17
Therefore BC = 17.
The given expression is:
(x/2) + 5
Let's look at each terms separately:
x/2 means that you you're getting half the value of a number
+5 means that you are adding 5
Combining both, you can conclude that you are adding 5 to half a certain given number.
Comparing this with the choices, the correct choice would be:
C. five more than half a number.
