Answer: C 2.5%


Step-by-step explanation:

The "Rule of 72" is a easy way to calculate how much time an investment will take to double with a given fixed annual rate of interest.

Just we have to divide 72 by the annual rate of return(r), we can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take to double the initial investment .

Now, in given problem: Let 'r' be the rate of interest

Time to double the amount=29 years

Thus by rule 72 ,

\frac{72}{r}=29\\\Rightarrow\ r=\frac{72}{29}=2.4827\%\approx2.5\%

Therefore, C is the right option.

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x2 as the denominator :

2x2 - 5x (2x2 - 5x) • x2

2x2 - 5x = ———————— = ———————————————

1 x2

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

Solve the equation, if possible.<br> 1. 2x + 2(4x - 2) + 3x = x + 3(x – 8) + 4x
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute and expand everything in brackets.

2x+2*4x+2*-2+3x=x+3*x+3*-8+4x

2x+8x-4+3x=x+3x-24+4x

Solve like terms

13x-4=8x-24

Place like terms on same side.

13x-8x=-24+4

Solve for x

5x=-20

x=-4
