So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such:
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y:
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.
Answer:
t= 2.52 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that for first 30 km, the speed of bicyclist is v km/hour
time taken to cover first 30 km is given by
(
)
for next 17 km the speed of bicyclist is 2 km/hour greater than his original speed
so the speed to cover next 17 km = v+2
time taken to cover next 17 km is given by
now total time t spent by the bicyclist to cover entire trip is given by
now if v=18 , we have
now to add fractions we make the denominator same
Hence we will find the LCM of 18 and 20
LCM of 18 and 20 = 180
now we need to make both the denominator equal to 180
hours (approx)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
<em><u>The reason is:</u></em>
When we are adding terms which has exactly the same variables, we must add the constants and let the result stand with variable
Which means,
4x + 10x = 14x
But,
We cannot add terms that has different variable
Which means,
4x + 5y
Here, both the terms 4x and 5y has different variable present in it. Hence they cannot be added together
