Answer:

The simple interest rate is 5%.

This is possible with a rate of 6%, since in this case, his amount earned will be $5,208.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

Joshua has $4,200 to invest for college. If Joshua invests $4,200 for 3 years and earns $630, what is the simple interest rate?

We have that P = 4200, E = 630, t = 3. We have to find I.

E = P*I*t

630 = 4200*I*3

I = \frac{630}{4200*3}

I = 0.05

The simple interest rate is 5%.

Joshua’s goal is to have $5,000 after 4 years. Is this possible if he invests with a rate of  return of 6%?

We have to find T when P = 4200, t = 4, I = 0.06

So

E = P*I*t

E = 4200*0.06*4

E = 1008

T = E + P = 4200 + 1008 = 5208

This is possible with a rate of 6%, since in this case, his amount earned will be $5,208.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -2-6)/(2- -2)

   = ( -2-6)/( 2+2)

   -8/4

Solve The Equation, Check Your Answer 15=7x+1-5x
Morgarella [4.7K]
15=7x+1-5x


Put like terms together. ( group anything alike)

15+1=16

7x-5x=2x

16 2x
—- ——-
2x 2x


2x/2x cancels itself out.

16 divided by 2 is 8

x=8

I hope this helped!
