(6 + 3) + 21 = 6 + (3 + 21)
It's an ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
Sqrt(1-3x)=x+3
[sqrt(1-3x)]^2=(x+3)^2
1-3x=(x+3)(x+3)
1-3x=x^2+6x+9
-3x=x^2+6x+8
0=x^2+9x+8
The answers are -1 and -8 BUT, we have to plug them back into the original equation to make sure we don't get a negative under the square root sign.
After doing this, we realize that only -1 works, so the answer is x=-1
Sorry that this took forever to answer. I was thinking of a good way to explain this, and if you need any further explanation, message me:)
Best wishes:)
Answer:
The amount after 4 years = $ 16198.87
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to remember
Compound interest
A = P[1 + R/n]^nt
Were A - Amount
P - Principle
R - Rate of interest
t - Number of years
n - Number of times compounded
<u>To find the amount</u>
Here P = $11,800, R = 8% = 0.08, t = 4 years and n = 4 times
A = P[1 + R/n]^nt
= 11800[1 + 0.08/4]^(4 * 4)
= 16198.87
Therefore amount after 4 years = $ 16198.87
