Answer:
13.5 = 9.5 + x
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, the price of the baseball cap, which is $9.50, and a baseball, whose price is unknown (and therefore must be the variable), total $13.50. So, to set up the equation add the two prices and set them equal to the total, 9.5+x=13.5.
Then, using the subtraction property of equality subtract 9.5 from both sides. This means x=4, so the baseball cost 4 dollars.
Since only the principal value, interest rate and interest period are given, we can deduce that "finance charge" only includes the interest to be paid at the end of the term. This can be obtained by subtracting the principal value from the future value which we will solve for.
The future value can be solved by using the following compound interest formula:
Let:
F = Future value
P = Principal value
r<span> = annual interest rate </span>
n<span> = number of times that interest is compounded per year</span>
t<span> = number of years</span>
F = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Substituting the given values:
F = 4250(1 + 0.1325/12)^(12*2)
F = 5531.54
Subtracting P from F:
Finance charge = 5531.54 - 4250 = 1281.54
Therefore the finance charge is $1,281.54
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Exterior angle property: Exterior angles equals the sum of remote angles
19x - 18 = 7x + 1 + 10x - 9
19x - 18 = <u>7x + 10x</u> + <u>1 - 9 </u> {Combine like terms}
19x - 18 = 17x - 8 {Subtract 17x from both sides}
19x - 17x - 18 = -8
2x - 18 = -8 {Add 18 to both sides}
2x = -8 + 18
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
