What you must do for this case is to rewrite the expression in a simplified way.
We have then:
3/a-9b
We take common factor 3:
(3)*(1/a-3b)
Answer:
The simplified form of the expression is:
(3)*(1/a-3b)
Each year we add 4.5% interest.
4.5% as a decimal is 0.045.
We multiply by 1.045 to add this interest.
(not 0.045, this would just be the interest and wouldn't keep the whole)
To start: $1,000
Multiply by 1.045 for the first year.
Now we have $1,045.
Multiply by 1.045 again for the second year.
Now we're at 1092.025.
We need to round up to the nearest cent...$1,092.03
The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.
Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:
C = 2A
C = N + 3
C = S/2
S - N = C + A
S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have
2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2
C + 3 = C + C/2
C/2 = 3 and C = 6
A = C/2
A= 6/2
A = 3
N = C - 3
N = 6 - 3
N = 3
S = 2C
S = 2 x 6
S = 12.
C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12
