Use the distributive property.
4a - 8 = 3a + 12
Arrange the like terms.
4a - 3a = 12 + 8
a = 20
That is the answer. <span>☺️</span>✌️
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We would use the formula for exponential growth model which is expressed as
y = b(1 + r)^t
Where
y represents the population after t years.
t represents the number of years.
b represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
b = 5655
r = 1.4% = 1.4/100 = 0.014
Therefore, the equation would be
y = 5655(1 + 0.014)^t
y = 5655(1.014)^t
b) in 2022, t = 2022 - 2010 = 12 years
y = 5655(1.014)^12
y = 6682
40/100= 56/x
40x=100(56)
40x=5600
Divide both sides by 40 to get x alone.
X=140
1) The accumulated amount after six years and the total interest that Trevor will receive if the interest rate is 4.5% per annum simple interest after 6 years are <u>R25,400</u> and <u>R5,400</u> respectively.
2) The accumulated amount after six years and the total interest that Trevor will receive if the interest rate is 4.5% per annum compound interest after 6 years are<u> R26,045.20</u> and <u>R6,045.20</u> respectively.
<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3><h3>Simple Interest:</h3>
Principal = R20,000
Investment period = 6 years
Interest rate = 4.5%
Simple interest for 6 years = R5,400 ($20,000 x 6 x 4.5%)
Principal + Interest = R25,400 (R20,000 + R5,400)
<h3>Compound Interest:</h3>
Principal = R20,000
Investment period = 6 years
Interest rate = 4.5%
N (# of periods) = 6 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%
PV (Present Value) = R20,000
PMT (Periodic Payment) = R0
<u>Results</u>:
FV = R26,045.20
Total Interest = R6,045.2
