Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

the line x + 5 is a mid segment of the triangle and thus is half the length of 3x - 1, that is

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

multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction

2x + 10 = 3x - 1 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- x + 10 = - 1 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

- x = - 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 11

If the simple interest on $5,000 for 4 years is $1,600, then what is the interest rate?

matrenka [14]

Answer:

0.08, or 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate formula is i = p*r*t, where p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.

We want to calculate r when i, p and t are known.

Solving i = p*r*t for r, we get r = ------------

p*t

The interest rate in this case is

$1600

r = ---------------- = 0.08, or 8%

$5000*4
