Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If we where to simplfy the 4(5d - 4) it would be 20d - 16 and that is equivalent to 20d - 16.

Answer: Yes they are equivalent

--------------

The reason why is because

4(5d - 4) = 4*(5d) + 4(-4) = 20d - 16

You multiply the outer term 4 by each term inside the parenthesis

4 times 5d = 4*5d = 20d

4 times -4 = 4*(-4) = -16

I'm using the distributive property.

---------------

Alternatively, you can start with 20d - 16 and factor out the GCF 4. Divide each term by 4 to get

20d/4 = 5d

-16/4 = -4

So after dividing each term of 20d-16 by 4, we get 5d-4 and the 4 will be pulled out to say 20d - 16 = 4(5d - 4)

As you can probably see, factoring is just thinking of distributing in reverse. Instead of multiplying each term by the same number, you divide each term by the same number. You can distribute the 4 back in to check your factorization.

Priscilla invests $10,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 11%. How long will it take for her money
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interest compounds continuously, our formula is

A(t)=Pe^{rt}

If we start with 10000 and are looking for how long, t, it takes to double, we are looking for how long it will take for our account to have 2 times 10000.  That's 20000.  Therefore, our equation is

20000=10000e^{.11t}

Divide both sides by 10000 to get

2=e^{.11t}

Take the natural log of both sides to "undo" that e:

ln(2)=ln(e^{.11t})

Again, since ln and e undo each other what we have now is

ln(2) = .11t and

\frac{ln(2)}{.11}=t so

t = 6.3 years

x=18.5/0.1=185

Answer: x=185

To checkt:
0.75(185)-18.5=138.75-18.5=120.25
0.65(185)=120.25
