The answer is 8%

Compound interest formula is:
A = P(1 + r/n)ⁿˣ
A - the final amount
P - the initial amount
r - interest rate
n - number of compoundings per year
x - time period

We have:
A = <span>$1389.08
P = </span><span>$1000
r = ?
n = 2  (it is semiannual)
x = 4

</span>A = P(1 + r/n)ⁿˣ
1389.08 = 1000(1 + r/2)²*⁴
1389.08 = 1000(1 + r/2)⁸
(1 + r/2)⁸ = 1389.08/1000
(1 + r/2)⁸ = 1.389
\sqrt[8]{(1 +  \frac{r}{2} ) ^{8}}   =  \sqrt[8]{1.389}  \\ &#10;1 +  \frac{r}{2} =1.04 \\ &#10; \frac{r}{2} = 1.04-1 \\ &#10; \frac{r}{2} = 0.04 \\ &#10;r = 2*0.04 =0.08
r = 0.08 = 8/100 = 8%

-4(4-4v)-v=-2(-5v-2) answer
nalin [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-16-16v - v = 10v + 4

Add 16 to both sides and combine like terms giving you

15v = 10v + 20

Subtract 10v from both sides

5v= 20

Divide by 5

V=4

What is 3(x+2)-10=4x-6+x <br>​
Natalija [7]

Answer:

1=x or x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2)-10=4x-6+x

distribute

3x+6-10=4x-6+x

combine like terms

3x-4=5x-6

subtract 3x from each side

-4=2x-6

add 6 to both sides

2=2x

divide by 2

1=x or x=1
