Answer:

a = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable (a). Add 17 to both sides

a - 17 = 42

a - 17 (+17) = 42 (+17)

a = 42 + 17

Simplify. Combine like terms

a = 42 + 17

a = 59

59 is your answer

Solve for a (this means they want you to get "a" by itself in the equation)

So:

a - 17 = 42     Add 17 on both sides to get "a" by itself

a - 17 + 17 = 42 + 17

a = 59

False.

The applicable formula for amount in account (a) after t years is given by:

a = Pe^(rt); where a = Amount in an account, P = Amount deposited, r = Annual interest rate, t = time in years.

Substituting;
a = 3000e^(0.055t)
