3 (3 + x) = 5x - 25
9 + 3x = 5x - 25
Add 25 to each side
34 + 3x = 5x
Subtract 3x from each side
34 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
17 = x
Im pretty sure it would be $60. If im wrong im sorryyyyy
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+3) = x-4 --> multiply (x+2) times 2
2x+6 = x - 4 --> subtract x from both sides
x+6 = -4 --> subtract 6 from both sides
x = -10
Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900
Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%
method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800
Step 1: Assess the key characteristics. Examine the peaks and spread of the distribution. ...
Step 2: Look for indicators of nonnormal or unusual data. Skewed data and multi-modal data indicate that data may be nonnormal. ...
