8 ( 4 - x ) = 7x + 2
32 - 8x = 7x + 2
-7x -7x
--------------------------
32 - 15x = 2
-32 -32
----------------------------
-15x = -30
/-15 /-15
x = 2.
5000(1+.07)^2
5000(1.07)^2
5000(1.14)
5,700
Your final answer should be 5,700$. If you wanna double check you would use the equation fv=bv(1+r/m)^mt
