<span>3b + 2(b − 1) = 8
3b + 2b - 2 = 8
5b = 10
b = 2

answer b = 2</span>

So to start out the equation, you would have to distribute the 2 to the numbers and letters in the parenthesis. This should get me to:3b+2b-2=8. Add 2 on both sides of the equation and add up like terms. Now the equation looks like this: 5b=10. Now divide 5 to both sides which should give you b. b=2 I hope this helps you!

Mei Mei invested $1700 in an account that pays 3% interest compounded annually.

algol [13]

Answer:

$2728

Step-by-step explanation:

Use compound interest formula:

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

P = 1700, r = 0.03, n = 1, t = 16

Plug in numbers:

$A = 1700(1 + \frac{0.03}{1})^{(1)(16)}$

Simplify:

$A = 1700(1.3)^{16$

Use calculator:

$A = 2728$

The sum of five consecutive multiples of 4 is 20.Find the smallest integer.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The smallest integer is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x.

Since the integers are all multiples of 4, they are

=> x, x+4, x+8, x+12 and x+16

=> x + x+4 + x+8 + x+12 + x+16 = 20

=> 5x + 40 = 20

Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation

5x +40 - 40 = 20 - 40

5x = -20

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x(which is 5)

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-20}{5}$

x = -4

∴ the smallest integer is -4.

Hope this helps!!!
