Answer:
K = -72
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8
2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72
To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.
So, we'll find out how much interest this person will have in 6 years and then add it to the original deposit. To do this we will multiply all the factors:
500 x 0.04 x 6 = 120.
This means they'll have made $120 in interest in 6 years if they don't touch the money. We will add the 120 to the 500.
500+120= 620
They will have a total of $620 in their account after 6 years.
