James deposited $575 into a bank account that earned 5.5% simple interest each year. If no money was deposited into or withdrawn

Basile [38]

The answer is $654.06.
5.5% of $575 is $31.63. 575 x 0.055 = 31.63
This means that in one year he earns $31.63. In two years it will be $63.25 (31.63 x 2 = 63.25)
Then in half a year it will be $15.81 (31.63/2 = 15.81)
Finally add 15.81 and 63.25 to get $79.06 which you then add to the initial $575 to get the total amount earned in 2 1/2 years which is $654.06.

Solve for x:<br> 1 1/5x−2 1/3<1/7x+1 1/2

Mashcka [7]

Answer: $x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}$

Add $2\frac{1}{3}$ on both sides and subtract $\frac{1}{7}x$ on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.

$(2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{7}x) +1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}$

$1\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7}x$

Solve the fractions.

$1(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})x$

$1(\frac{(1)(7)-(5)(1)}{(5)(7)} )x$

$1(\frac{7-5}{35} )x$

$1(\frac{2}{35} )x$

$1\frac{2}{35}x$

Convert the mixed fraction $1\frac{2}{35}$ to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.

$\frac{37}{35}x$

Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.

$(\frac{35}{37}) (\frac{37}{35})x$

$x$

What is the slop intercept form of a line that passes threw (4,-4) and (8, -10)

BigorU [14]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes, so we can find the slope:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 4, -4)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 8, -10)\\m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-10 - (- 4)} {8-4} = \frac {-10+ 4} {4} = \frac {-6} {4} = - \frac {3} {2}$
