Answer:

x = -27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the terms outside the parenthesis to each term within:

3(2x - 1) = (2x * 3) + (-1 * 3) = (6x) + (-3) = 6x - 3

5(x - 6) = (x * 5) + (-6 * 5) = (5x) + (-30) = 5x - 30

Isolate the variable. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

6x - 3 = 5x - 30

Add 3 and subtract 5x from both sides:

6x (-5x) - 3 (+3) = 5x (-5x) - 30 (+3)

6x - 5x = -30 + 3

x = -27

x = -27 is your answer.

What’s the value of DCB?<br> Pls help

amm1812

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

angle ACD + angle DCB = 180 (Angles on straight line)

4x + 2 + 3x + 3 = 180

7x + 5 = 180

7x = 180-5

7x = 175

x = 175 / 7

x = 25

angle DCB = 3x +3 = 3*25 + 3 = 75 +3 = 78

dangina [55]

Answer: $107,836.69 or about $107,837 (to the nearest dollar)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to the accumulated amount received after investing principal amount (P) at rate of interest (r) compounded monthly for t months :

$A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{12})^{t}$

As per given , A = $130,000

r= 7.5% = 0.075

t= 30 months

Now,

$130000=P(1+\dfrac{0.075}{12})^{30}\\\\\Rightarrow 130000=P(1+0.00625)^{30}\\\\\Rightarrow 130000=P(1.00625)^{30}\\\\\Rightarrow 130000=P \times1.20552661036\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{130000}{1.2055266}=107,836.69$

Hence he need to invest $107,836.69 .
