You could subtract 5/4 from each side of the equation.
Then it would say
x = -2/4 .
That's a perfectly true solution, but not a very attractive one.
To pretty it up, you could simplify the fraction if you felt like it,
and you would have
x = -1/2 .
Well if that's a division symbol then it's 4/5 x 1/3=4/15.
If it's addition it's 19/5
The common multiple for 1/2 1/4 1/6 1/3 and 1/5 would be 60:
2 x 30 = 60
3 x 20 = 60
4 x 15 = 60
5 x 12 = 60
6 x 10 = 60
<span>i=prt
where i is interest (9000-6000 = $3000 interest)
p is principle ($6000)
r is rate (5.5%) [taking that its 5.5%pa]
t is time
substitute these into the equation
3000 = $6000 x 5.5% x t
t = 3000 divided by (6000x5.5%)
= 3000 divided by 330
t=100/11 years
it would take 100/11 years which is approx 9.1 years</span>
