0.5(x - 3) + (1.5 - x) = 5x
0.5x - 1.5 + 1.5 - x = 5x
-0.5x = 5x
5x + 0.5x = 0
5.5x = 0
x = 0

4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....there are 2 ways to do this...one with fractions, one without.

with :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x
4/3 = 2x - 4/5x
4/3 = 10/5x - 4/5x
4/3 = 6/5x
4/3 * 5/6 = x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x

without :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....multiply by common denominator of 15
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 30x - 12x
20 = 18x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x

How 2 do? (n)(n+7)(n+8)

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$n^{3} + 15n^{2} + 56n$

Step-by-step explanation:

First FOIL (n + 7)(n + 8) and then distribute n

(n + 7)(n + 8) = $n^{2} +15n + 56$

n ( $n^{2} +15n + 56$ )

= $n^{3} + 15n^{2} + 56n$

Simple Interest Rate Formula: $\displaystyle A = P(1 + rt)$

P is principle amount
r is rate
t is time

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

P = 100

r = 4% = 0.04

t = 10

Step 2: Find Interest

Substitute in variables [Simple Interest Rate Formula]: A = 100(1 + 0.04 · 10)
(Parenthesis) Multiply: A = 100(1 + 0.4)
(Parenthesis) Add: A = 100(1.4)
Multiply: A = 140
