Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that T is the midpoint of line PQ, segments PT = 5x + 2, and TQ = 7x - 6 that are formed would be equidistant or congruent. PT = TQ.

Therefore:

$5x + 2 = 7x - 6$

Let's find the value of x

Rearrange the equation, so that the terms having x would be on your left, while those without x would be on your right.

$5x - 7x = - 2 - 6$

$-2x = -8$

Divide both sides by -2

$x = 4$

Plug in the value of x into the expression, 5x + 2, to find PT.

PT = 5(4) + 2 = 22.

Since we're doing compound interest for four years it will be simpler than daily.
In case you didn't know the formula, here it is: A = P (1 +r/n)^(nt)
now lets substitute.
A = 500 (1 + 0.03)^4
A = 500 (1.03)^4
A = 500 (1.12550881)
A = 562.754405
Since that decimal is too big for cash, let's round it. Notice that the number after 5 is lower than 5. Thus the first two numbers stay the same and the final answer will be..
A = 562.75
Hope this helps :3
