Answer:
3x + 1 = 2x - 4. x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
So firstly, I'm going to be converting the mixed number into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add that product with the numerator and that will be your new numerator. In this case:
3 × 8 = 24, 24 + 3 = 27. 
Now since they have the same denominator, you can subtract the numerators.
Now simplify the number as such:
<u>In short, your answer is -17/4, or -4 1/4.</u>
The simple interest formula is A = P(1 + rt) in which A is the total of money after interest, P is your principal (starting) amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time.
For 1), plug in your variables to get A = 1500(1 + (7/100*1.5)). Simplify, and you'll get A = 1500*1.105, and finally your answer, $1,657.50.
<span>For 2), add your interest and principal amount, then plug in your variables to get 676 = 520(1 + 5r). Distribute to get 676 = 520 + 2600r. Subtract 520 from 676 to get 156 = 2600r, then divide both sides by 2600 to get a rate of 0.06, or 6%.
For 3), add your interest and principal amount, then plug in your variables to get 1599 = 1300(1 + 5.75t). Distribute to get 1599 = 1300 + 7475t. Subtract 1300 from both sides to get 299 = 7475t, and then divide both sides by 7475 to get .04 = t, or a time period of four years.
The other two problems can be solved using the formula and steps described above. If you still need help with them, leave a comment and I will solve those as well. </span>
Answer: y= -1/2x + 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
Y-3= -1/2(x-1)
y-3= -1/2x+1/2
+3 +3
y= -1/2x + 3.5
