Answer:
<u>x = 36</u>
Here's how I got that:
<em> - Group like terms -</em>
x - 2 + 2x + 4 + 2x - 2 = 180
↓
5x - 2 + 4 - 2 = 180
↓
5x = 180
<em> - Divide both sides by 5 - </em>
<em> </em> 5x/5 = 180/5
↓
<em> </em><u><em>x </em></u><u>= 36</u>
<em>~ That's all folks ~</em>

The answer is - 23/6 it should be
George shouldn't think too far.
He should use the formula for Compound Interest.
Amount in compound interest, A = P(1+ r/100)ⁿ.
Where A = Amount, P = Principal, r is the rate per year, n = number of years.
Note: the expression (1+ r/100) is raised to power n.
From George's problem: P = 750, r = 22, I guess number of years , n = x
A(x) = 750( 1 + 22/100)ˣ
A(x) = 750( 1 + 0.22)ˣ
From your options I can't see an answer. Except the expression of option (A) is actually raised to power x, and not times x as stated in the option.
