The applicable formula is
I = Prt
where P = the principal value (12109), r is the interest rate (0.045), and t is the time period in years (1/2)

a) Substituting the given values, the interest amount is computed as
I = ($12,109)(.0.45)(1/2)
I = $272.45

b) The amount Sophia will have to pay back is the sum of the principal amount and the interest owed.
$12,109 + 272.45 = $12,381.45

A square and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The square has a side length of 8x units. The rectangle has a length of (5x+8)

nevsk [136]

Answer:

The perimeter of both figures is equal to $64\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The perimeter of a square is equal to

$P=4b$

where

b is the side length of the square

we have

$b=8x\ units$

substitute

$P=4(8x)=32x\ units$

step 2

we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$

we have

$L=(5x+8)\ units$

$W=(14)\ units$

substitute

$P=2(5x+8+14)=10x+44\ units$

step 3

Equate both perimeters and solve for x

$10x+44=32x$

$32x-10x=44$

$22x=44$

$x=2\ units$

step 4

Find the perimeter of both

<em>square</em>

$P=32x=32(2)=64\ units$

<em>rectangle</em>

$P=10x+44=10(2)+44=64\ units$

If f(x) = 5x + 7 and g(x) = -2x - 4 Find f(g(x)) = -10x + [?] Enter

grigory [225]

Answer:

$f(g(x)) = -10x -13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 5x + 7$

$g(x) = -2x - 4$

Required

Find f(g(x))

This is calculated as:

$f(x) = 5x + 7$

Substitute g(x) for x

$f(g(x)) = 5(f(g(x)) + 7$

Substitute $g(x) = -2x - 4$

$f(g(x)) = 5(-2x - 4) + 7$

Open bracket

$f(g(x)) = -10x - 20 + 7$

$f(g(x)) = -10x -13$

Use the general solution to solve

Whitepunk [10]

For this case we must solve the following linear equation:

$5-6x = 8x + 17$

Adding $6x$ to both sides of the equation we have:

$5 = 8x + 6x + 17\\5 = 14x + 17$

Subtracting 17 from both sides of the equation:

$5-17 = 14x$

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed:

$-12 = 14x$

We divide by 14 on both sides of the equation:

$x = - \frac {12} {14}\\x = - \frac {6} {7}$

Answer:

$x = - \frac {6} {7}$
