Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

5( x + 7) - 3 ( x - 4) = 7x + 2

Distribute

5x+35 - 3x +12 = 7x +2

2x +47 = 7x+2

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+47-2x =7x -2x+2

47 = 5x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

47-2= 5x+2-2

45= 5x

Divide by 5

45/5 =5x/5

9 =x

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>→Distribute the 5 to (x + 7), Distribute the -3 to (x - 4):</u>

5(x + 7) - 3(x - 4) = 7x + 2

5x + 35 - 3x + 12 = 7x + 2

<u>→Add like terms:</u>

2x + 47 = 7x + 2

<u>→Subtract 2x from both sides:</u>

47 = 5x + 2

<u>→Subtract 2 from both sides:</u>

45 = 5x

<u>→Divide both sides by 5:</u>

9 = x

Clabber Company has bonds outstanding with a par value of $121,000 and a carrying value of $109,900. If the company calls these
kiruha [24]

Answer:

gain of $4400

Step-by-step explanation:

carrying value= $109900

callable value= $105500

Since, the bond is callable it can be redeemed by the company before its maturity. The value at which the bond is redeemed is called callable value.

here the carrying value is higher than the callable value hence the balance will gain to the company.

Gain = carrying value-callable value= 109900-105500= $4400

A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 22000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P t = P 0 ⋅ 2 t d
Bas_tet [7]

We have been given that a culture of bacteria has an initial population of 22,000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P(t) = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}}, where P(t) ​ is the population after t hours, ​P_0 is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time.

We are asked to find the population of bacteria after 17 hours.

First of all, we will substitute our given values in doubling life formula as:

P(t) =22,000\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{5}}

Now to find population of bacteria after 17 hours, we will substitute t=17 in our formula as:

P(117) =22,000\cdot 2^{\frac{17}{5}}

P(117) =22,000\cdot 2^{3.4}

P(117) =22,000\cdot (10.556063286183)

P(17) =232233.392296026

P(17)\approx 232,233

Therefore, the bacteria population will be 232,233 after 17 hours.
