So what even is this make it shorter and I should be able to answer it
1. Expand
2x − 2 + 4 = 4x + 4
2. Simply
2x + 2 = 4x + 4
3. Subtract
2 = 4x + 4 - 2x
4. Simplify
2 = 2x + 4
5.Subtract
2 - 4 = 2x
6. Simplify
-2 = 2x
7. Divide both sides by
-1 = x
8.Switch sides.
x = -1
As a disclaimer, I can't say I'm completely confident in this answer. Use at own risk.
Formulas:
Year 1: 328,000 (sales) - 117,000 (expense) = 211,000 (profit)
Year 2: 565,000 (sales) - x (expense) = y (profit)
Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000
Math
211,000 (profit y1) + 565,000 (sales y2) = 776,000
776,000 - 113,000 (net profit) = -663,000 (expenses)
Confirm:
Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000 (listed in formulas, just a reminder)
Plug in: 565,000 (y2 sales) - 663,000 (our solution) = -98,000
211,000 (y1 net) + -98,000 (our plug in) = 113,000 (2 year net profit given to us)
Depends it could be 14812 if they want total value or just the interest would be 7812
The answers are
1. 18
2. 1 1/15
