Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the Number

To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.

Equation:

Let "x" be the number.

4 is divided by a number - 4/x

3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2

"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"

4/x = 3/x-2

Solution:

Cross multiply.

4/x = 3/x-2

x(3) = 4(x-2)

3x = 4x - 8

(Combine similar terms.)

3x - 4x = - 8

- x = - 8

- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1

x = 8

Final Answer:

8

Checking:

4/x = 3/x-2

4/8 = 3/8-2

1/2 = 3/6

1/2 = 1/2 ✔

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line having the given slope and y-intercept.
pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   y = 4/6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

m = 4/6

P (0, -4)

slope-intercept form = ?      y = mx + b    where m is the slope and

                                                                  b is the y-intercept

Formula

           y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

           y - (-4) = 4/6(x - 0)

Simplification

           y + 4 = 4/6x

Result

                 y = 4/6x - 4

slope = 4/6  y-intercept = -4

Explanation and answer please :)
Juli2301 [7.4K]

$20,000 is between $15,000 and $49,999, so we'll use the interest rate of 6.5% (see row 3)

r = 6.5% = 6.5/100 = 0.065

We'll use the decimal form of the interest rate as it is most common for financial math problems.

P = 20,000 is the amount deposited

t = 1 year is the amount of time

We will plug those values into the formula

i = P*r*t

to get the following:

i = P*r*t

i = 20000*0.065*1

i = 1300

So Mark earns $1,300 in simple interest each year.
