18 - 7x = -20.5
Subtract 18 from each side:
-7x = -38.5
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -38.5 / -7
x = -5.5 = 5 1/2
The answer is D.
(4 2/3) / (4 1/5) = 1.111
Answer:
Interest = $75
Total to pay back = $375
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount she will have to pay back is found by the formula:
= Amount borrowed * (1 + rate * years)
= 300 * ( 1 + 5% * 5)
= $375
The interest is therefore:
= Amount to be paid back - Amount borrowed
= 375 - 300
= $75
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
N is between points M and O
MN = x
MO = 3x - 6
NO = x + 1
The way it reads MN + NO = MO
x + x + 1 = 3x - 6
2x + 1 = 3x - 6
2x - 2x +1 = 3x -2x - 6
1 = x - 6
1 + 6 = x
x = 7
MO = 3x - 6
MO = 3*7 - 6
MO = 21 - 6
MO = 15
1/3 and 33.3 percent are nearly equivalent. 1/3 is actually equal to 33.33333333% (with never ending 3s at the end), so 1/3 is slightly greater than 33.3% (which has only one 3 after the decimal place).
