bulgar [2K]3 years ago

Hello - let's do this step by step. Show your work.

You're asking: 9(8−x)=3x.

Now, simplify both sides of the equation.

9(8−x)=3x

(9)(8)+(9)(−x)=3x (To do that, distribute)

72+−9x=3x

−9x+72=3x

Now,  subtract 3x from both sides.

−9x+72−3x=3x−3x

Simplify,

−12x+72=0

After, subtract 72 from both sides.

−12x+72−72=0−72

−12x=−72

Last thing, divide both sides by -12.

-12x/12 = -72/-12

Divide.

Therefore, you have <u>x = 6</u> as your final answer.

Kenneth loaned $1,200 to his niece to buy a computer. Two years later, she paid him back the $1,200 along with an interest of $9
insens350 [35]

Answer:

<u>The  annual interest rate was 4%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Loan to Kenneth's niece to buy a computer = US$ 1,200

Duration of the loan = 2 years

Niece paid back to Kenneth = US$ 1,296

Annual interest rate = x%

2. Let's find the annual interest rate after 2 years, using the following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + x)

PV = Loan to Kenneth's niece to buy a computer = US$ 1,200

FV = Niece paid back to Kenneth = US$ 1,296

rate (r) = x

Replacing with the real values:

1,296 = 1,200 * (1 + x)

1.296/1.200 = (1 + x) (Dividing by 1,200 at both sides)

1.08 = 1 + x

1.08 - 1 = x (Subtracting 1 at both sides)

<u>0.08 = x</u>

This is the interest rate for two years, for finding the annual interest rate we divide it by 2, this way:

<u>0.08 / 2 = 0.04 * 100 = 4%</u>

A marketing firm would like to test-market the name of a new energy drink targeted at 18- to 29-year-olds via social media. A st
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = an US adult who does not uses social media.

<em>Y</em> = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

<em>Z</em> = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (<em>X'</em><em>)</em>) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

                                                   =1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (<em>Y</em>)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

                                            =1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

                =0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.
