Answer:
The number is 19
Step-by-step explanation:
7 less than a number = x - 7
2x - x - 7 = 12
Subtract x from 2x
x - 7 = 12
Add 7 to both sides of the equation
x = 19
The number is 19
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. let's call the balance A, the initial amount P, the yearly rate r, the number of compounds yearly n, and the time t.
step 2. A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) (compounding equation)
step 3. A = 8500(1 + .0178/12)^((12)(10))
step 4. A = 8500(1.00148334)^120
step 5. A = $10,154.68.
$60
400 ÷ 7 = 57. 1428571429
Since that's not an option we estimate it. The closest number is $60 so, there's your answer!
I hope this helps! sorry if it's wrong :(
