X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7

The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches

1 + 1 2 ⋅ (4x − 6) = −2
Dmitry [639]

1.4375

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Let the given equation be     1+12(4X-6)=-2

To find X simplification of terms using BODMAS ( Brackets Orders Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction) is done as follows.

Step 2:

Let us expand the equation as 1+ (12*4X)-(12*6)=-2

Step 3:

Let us expand it further as 1+48X-72=-2

Step 4:

To find X segregate X in one side and all other remaining terms in other side as follows

48X=-2+72-1

After the simplification the numerical value is

48X=69

Step 5:

Keep X along one side and bring 48 to the denominator of another side to find X as follows

X=69/48

And the value of X is 1.4375

An amount of 1,500.00 is deposited in a bank paying an annual interest rate of 4.3% compounded quarterly. What is the balance af
defon

First, multiply the 1,500 by 4.3% to come up with $64.50 every three months (the question says compounded quarterly).

$64.50 x 4(quarters in a year) = $258.00 per year

$258.00 x 6 years = $1,548.00

$1,500.00 + $1,548.00 = $3,048.00 balance after six years
