First, determine the effective interests given both interest rates.

(1)   ieff = (1 + 0.068/12)^12 - 1 = 0.07016
(2)   ieff = (1 + 0.078/12)^12 - 1 = 0.08085

Calculating the interests will entail us to use the equation,
     I = P ((1 + i)^n - 1)

Substituting the known values,
  (1)    I = ($5125)((1 + 0.07016)^1/2 - 1)
          I = $176.737

   (2)    I = ($5125)(1 + 0.08085)^1/2 - 1)
            I = $203.15

a. Hence, the greater interest will be that of the second loan. 

b. The difference between the interests,
    d = $203.15 - $176.737
          $26.413

ONLY answer if you know what the answer is. If you are not sure DONT FREAKING ANSWER.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

5 = |-5|

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as a number line, like in the picture below. The absolute value is how far a number is from zero (0). If 5 is 5 away from zero, then the opposite of 5 (-5) is also 5 away from zero.

Refer to the picture below for an illustration:

If 2x +9= 23, then 3x =
miskamm [114]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to solve for x in the equation 2x + 9 = 23. Cancel 9 on both sides. You cancel 9 by subtracting 9 on the left side and on the right side:

23 - 9 = 14.

Now, you have 2x = 14. To isolate the variable, divide by 2 to cancel out 2.

14 / 2 = 7.

This will give you x = 7. Now that you know what x equals, you can substitute x in 3x. This would make it 3(7), or in other words 3 x 7.

3 x 7 = 21.

This means that 3x would be equal to 21. Hope it helps!
