f(x) = mx + b m = slope = -5 f(2) = 10 = (-5)(2) + b b = 10 + 10 = 20 Ans. m=-5, b = 20

1. Sarah's current account balance is $2,600. She made a single lump sum amount of

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The simple interest that said investment yielded was 3.75% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sarah's current account balance is $ 2,600, and she made a single lump sum amount of $ 2,000 eight years ago into the account, to calculate the equivalent simple interest rate (quoted annually) that she earned the following calculation must be performed:

(2,600 - 2,000) / 8 = X

600/8 = X

75 = X

2,000 = 100

75 = X

75 x 100 / 2,000 = X

7,500 / 2,000 = X

3.75 = X

Thus, the simple interest that said investment yielded was 3.75% per year.

Solve the equation x+3/x-4 = x-5/x+4

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x-4\neq0\ \wedge\ x+4\neq0\\\\x\neq4\ \wedge\ x\neq-4\\\\D:x\in\mathbb{R}-\{-4,\ 4\}$

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x+3)(x+4)=(x-4)(x-5)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x)(x)+(x)(4)+(3)(x)+(3)(4)=(x)(x)+(x)(-5)+(-4)(x)+(-4)(-5)\\\\x^2+4x+3x+12=x^2-5x-4x+20\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\x^2+(4x+3x)+12=x^2+(-5x-4x)+20\\\\x^2+7x+12=x^2-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7x+12=-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\7x=-9x+8\qquad\text{add}\ 9x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\16x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:8}{16:8}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\in D$
