Translating this word problem into an algebraic equation, we get:

3x - 2/5 = 8/5.

Let's combine the constants:  adding 2/5 to both sides of this equation yields  

3x = 10/5, or 3x = 2.

Solving for x:  x = 2/3

A couple needs $55,000 as a down payment for a home. If they invest the $40,000 they have at 4% compounded quarterly, how long w
slava [35]

Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula

A(t)= A_0(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) is the final amount 55000

A_0= 40000, r= 4% = 0.04, for quarterly n=4

55000=40000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

divide both sides by 40000

1375=(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

1375=(1.01)^{4t}

Take ln on both sides

ln(1375)=4tln(1.01)

divide both sides by ln(1.01)

\frac{ln 1375}{ln 1.01}=4t

Divide both sides by 4

t=8.00108

So it takes 8 years

Answer Please! I hate khan academy lol​
Zanzabum

Answer:

C; None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretend x=1, y=0, and z=2.

You have to match an answer to 1+0-2 (equals to -1).

The first equation would be 2+0+1. When you add them all together you get 3, and that isn't equivalent to -1, so therefore this one is not the answer.

The second equation becomes 1+2+0, and when you solve for the answer, you see that the answer is also 3, and so we can conclude that neither A or B matches with the equation above, so the answer is C, None of the above.
