let "a number" = x

a number is divided by 3 => x/3

14 is added to the quotient => (x/3) + 14

The result is 33 => " = 33"

Solve for x

(x/3) + 14 = 33

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do the other.

Subtract 14 from both sides

(x/3) + 14 (-14) = 33 (-14)

x/3 = 19

Isolate the x. Multiply 3 to both sides

x/3(3) = 19(3)

x = 19(3)

x = 57

57 is your original number

hope this helps

Answer:

Nominal interest rate is = 9% converible quaterly

we need to find monthy effective interest rate

0.09

i = 0.00744 or 0.75% approximately

i can also be taken as = 0.09/12

now PV of annuity will be the market price i.e x

6 60 *2 ---------------------a

Multiply equation by \frac{1}{1+i} both sides

6 60 2 PV ---------------b

Subtract equation b from a

60 2 PV (1 1+i (1+2)1 (1+2)2 (1+2)3 (1+2)60 (1+961

60 2 PV( 1 +i

on putting i = 0.00744

PV = 2733.88 approximately

X = 2733.88

What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use $x$ .

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation $5x+5=20$ . Our goal is to find the value of $x$ . <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

$5x=15\\\\x=3$

We now know the value of $x$ since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!

I dont understand how to do this

The statement EF=2.GF (Option A) and the statement

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} .EF=GE$ (Option C) are true for the ΔEFG.

<h3>What are trigonometric ratios?</h3>

The six trigonometric ratios of a right-angle triangle are Sin, Cos, Tan, Cosec, Sec and Cot. Trigonometric ratios are used to measure the sides of the right triangle.

Given that in ΔEFG, m∠E=30°, m∠F=60° and m∠G=90°.

Wow, sin 30° $=\frac{GF}{EF}$
