Number of oranges is (2a + 2)

Half the number of oranges is 1/2(2a + 2)

Half the number of apples is 1/2a

The difference between half the number of oranges and half the number of apples equals 4 looks like this:

1/2(2a + 2) - 1/2a = 4

Now solve.

1/2(2a + 2) - 1/2a = 4 (multiply 1/2 by what's inside the parenthesis)

1a + 1 - 1/2a = 4

1a + 1 -1 - 1/2a = 4 - 1

1a - 1/2a = 3

1/2a = 3

1/2a ÷ 1/2 = 3 ÷ 1/2

a = 6

He has 6 apples.

Substitute 6 into the equation for the number of oranges.

2a + 2

2(6) + 2 = 14

He has 14 oranges.

Check your work.

The difference between half the number of oranges (7) and half the number of apples (3) does indeed equal 4.

Therefore, the equation has one solution.

Altred is saving up money for a down payment on a house. He currently has $4739, but knows he can get a loan at a lower interest
Stella [2.4K]

Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

Principal amount = $4739

Future amount = $5336

Interest = 5.1 % =0.051

To determine the time to accumulate the $5336, we use the compound interest formula:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A=Future amount=$5336

P=Present amount=$4739

r=interest rate = 0.051

n=number of compounding periods =12

t=time in years

We also note that the number of compounding periods must be 12 since the investment is compounded monthly.

We plug in what we know:

\begin{gathered} A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ 5336=4739(1+\frac{0.051}{12})^{12t} \\ Simplify\text{ and rearrange} \\ 5336=4739(\frac{12.051}{12})^{12t} \\ 12t=\frac{\ln\frac{5336}{4739}}{\ln\frac{12.051}{12}} \\ t=\frac{\operatorname{\ln}\frac{5,336}{4,739}}{12\operatorname{\ln}\frac{12.051}{12}} \\ Calculate \\ t=2.33 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 2.33 years.
