Given:

Wang Yong owes the bank $8500. He pays back a fixed amount each month. After 12 months, he still has to pay off $6460.

To Find:

The amount of money he pays the bank every month and how long it will take him to pay off the full debt.

Answer:

Wang Yong pays $170 each month, and doing so, it will take him a total time of 50 months to pay off the full debt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wang Yong has borrows $8500 according to the question.

Say he pays the bank an amount of x every month, which is fixed. After 12 months, he still has to pay $6460.

In 12 months, he would have paid the bank 12x.

But $6460 is still left out of the original $8500.

This means,

$8500-12x=6460\\\\12x=8500-6460\\\\12x=2040\\\\x=170$

That is, Wang Yong pays the bank $170 every month.

Next, to calculate the amount of time it took Wang Yong to pay back his whole debt, we divide the total sum of money owed to the bank by the amount Wang Yong pays each month.

So, number of months = 8500 ÷ 170 = 50

That is, Wang Yong will pay off his debt 50 months after borrowing the money from the bank, provided he pays back $170 every month.

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit. 2^x=1-3^x

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

$2^x=1-3^x$

To determine the solution of the equation we will substitute the values of 'x' given in the options,

Option (1)

For x = -0.75

$2^{-0.75}=1-3^{-0.75}$

0.59 = 1 - 0.44

0.59 = 0.56

Since, values on both the sides are approximately same.

Therefore, x = -0.75 will be the answer.

Option (2)

For x = -1.25

$2^{-1.25}=1-3^{-1.25}$

0.42 = 1 - 0.25

0.42 = 0.75

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = -1.25 is not the answer.

Option (3)

For x = 0.75

$2^{0.75}=1-3^{0.75}$

1.68 = 1 - 2.28

1.68 = -1.28

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = 0.75 is not the answer.

Option (4)

For x = 1.25

$2^{1.25}=1-3^{1.25}$

2.38 = 1 - 3.95

2.38 = -2.95

It's not true.

Therefore, x = 1.25 is not the answer.

Answer:

Median is 18.

Mean is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Median has to be ordered from least to greatest:

1, 9, 17, 18, 25, 41, 43

then the median is the number in the middle, which is 18.

Mean is the sum of all the numbers, divided by 7 (because there are 7 numbers given)

25+18+9+1+43+17+41= 154

154/7 = 22
