Answer:

x=−10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x+3)=x−4

(2)(x)+(2)(3)=x+−4(Distribute)

2x+6=x+−4

2x+6=x−4

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

2x+6−x=x−4−x

x+6=−4

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

x+6−6=−4−6

x=−10

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(x + 3) = x - 4 \\ 2x + 6 = x - 4 \\ 2x - x = - 6 - 4 \\ x = - 10$

Answer:

4-4x=12+16x

−4x+4=16x+12

−4+4−4=16+12−4

-4x=16x+8

-4x-16x=16x+8-16x

-20x=8

-20x/-20 = 8/-20

x= -2/5

Answer:

The rate of return is 8.15%

This is a good investment

Explanation:

For the first question, you need to find the rate that makes the present value of a stream of ten constant annual payments of $15,000 equal to the $100,000 investment.

The formula that returns the present value of a constant payment is called the annuity formula and is:

$Present\text{ }value=payment\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]$

In your problem you know:

Present value: $100,000
payment: $15,000
r: ?
t: 10

You cannot solve for r directly. You must guess a value and calculate the right side of the equation until to you find the rate that makes it equal to 100,000.

Try 5%:

$\$15,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.05}-\dfrac{1}{0.05(1+0.05)^{10}}\bigg]=\$115,826$

Then, the rate of return is greater than 5%. After several trials you will find that the rate of return is 8.15%.

Since this rate is higher than 8%, which is what the company requires, this is a good investment.
