Answer:

She would need to leave the money in her account for 6 years and 8 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, 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.

In this question:

She put 500 into the saving account, so P = 500

7.5% annual interest, so I = 0.075

Saving $750. So we need T = 750.

Interest earned:

T = E + P

750 = E + 500

E = 250

How long to earn $250 in interest, in years:

E = P*I*t

250 = 500*0.075*t

t = \frac{250}{500*0.075}

t = 6.67

Converting to months:

6.67 years, that is, 6 years and (2/3) of an year.

An year has 12 months.

(2/3)*12 = 8.

So

She would need to leave the money in her account for 6 years and 8 months.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The standard form of an equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

Given the equation x - y = 6

Rewrite in standard form;

-y = -x + 6

Multiply through by -1

-(-y) = -(-x) - 6

y = x - 6

Compare with the standard equation

mx = 1x

mx+b

m is the slope

Factor 9(n − 4) − 4n(n − 4)
schepotkina [342]
Hey there :)

9( n - 4 ) - 4n ( n - 4 )
We can take ( n - 4 ) as common as both are getting multiplied by ( n - 4 )

We can join 9 - 4n together

Therefore, the final answer will be ( n - 4 )( 9 - 4n )
