So, this problem is asking us to find the value of our variable
u.
How can you do this? By isolating the variable, or having only it on one side of the equals sign.
Here's the step by step approach. It's just simple algebra and reverse order of operation (which is what you should do whenever you are solving for a variable).

Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 11 denominator.

Then, subtract both sides by 88 to get u by itself.

Therefore, u is equal to 99.
Answer:
- <u>The rate of return is 8.15%</u>
- <u>This is a good investment</u>

Explanation:
For the first question, you need to find the rate that makes the present value of a stream of ten constant annual payments of $15,000 equal to the $100,000 investment.
The formula that returns the present value of a constant payment is called the annuity formula and is:
![Present\text{ }value=payment\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Present%5Ctext%7B%20%7Dvalue%3Dpayment%5Ctimes%20%5Cbigg%5B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Br%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Br%281%2Br%29%5Et%7D%5Cbigg%5D)
In your problem you know:
- Present value: $100,000
- payment: $15,000
- r: ?
- t: 10
You cannot solve for r directly. You must guess a value and calculate the right side of the equation until to you find the rate that makes it equal to 100,000.
Try 5%:
![\$15,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.05}-\dfrac{1}{0.05(1+0.05)^{10}}\bigg]=\$115,826](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%2415%2C000%5Ctimes%20%5Cbigg%5B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.05%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.05%281%2B0.05%29%5E%7B10%7D%7D%5Cbigg%5D%3D%5C%24115%2C826)
Then, the rate of return is greater than 5%. After several trials you will find that the rate of return is 8.15%.
Since this rate is higher than 8%, which is what the company requires, this is a good investment.
Answer:
Alternate Interior Angles
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are inside the parallel lines, Alternate Exterior Angles and any other similar theorems can be ruled out.
Since they are on opposite sides of each other, Corresponding Angles and any other similar theorems can be ruled out.
Since they are far apart from each other, Supplementary Angles, Adjacent Angles, Vertical Angles, and any other similar definitions can be ruled out.
Therefore, we are left with Alternate Interior Angles.

Answer:
d = 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
12 + d = -4.8
subtract 12 from both sides and you get
d = 7.2
