Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x > -7/3
Discussion:
-3x + 8 < 15 => add 3x to both sides
(-3x + 3x) + 8 < 15 + 3x => (-3x + 3x) = 0
8 < 15 + 3x => subtract 15 from both sides
8-15 < 3x => 8 - 15 = -7
-7 < 3x => divide both sides by 3
-7/3 < x
Thank You,
MrB
Answer: C. 00:00 $927; Vince wrote the wrong number to represent the interest rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount borrowed (p) = 900
Simple interest (r) = 1.5% = 0.015
Time (t) = 2 years
Amount he'll pay back (A) :
A = P(1 + rt)
A = 900(1 + 0.015(2))
A = 900(1 + 0.03)
A = 900(1.03)
A = $927
The correct answer would be C) 3%
