Answer:

x = 30/7

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x = − 1/2x + 5

multiply by 6 to clear the fractions

4x = -3x + 30

add 3x to both sides

7x = 30

Divide both sides by 7

x = 30/7

Answer:

$= \frac{-2(x-6)}{(x+4)(x-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

$\frac{x}{x^2-16} -\frac{3}{x-4}$

According to difference of two square;

x² - 16 = x²-4² = (x+4)(x-4)

Substitute;

$\frac{x}{(x+4)(x-4)} - \frac{3}{x - 4}\\$

Find the LCM

$= \frac{x-3(x+4)}{(x+4)(x-4)} \\= \frac{x-3x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)}\\= \frac{-2x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)}\\= \frac{-2(x-6)}{(x+4)(x-4)}$

Tim earns $12 per hour as head lifeguard at Sammy's Swim Park. As a first year lifeguard Jack earns 30% less than Tim, and as a

monitta

Tim = 12
Jack 1st = 12 - (12 x 0.30)

Jack = x

12 - (12 x 0.30) =
12 - 3.6 = 8.4

A family is purchasing a house and needs to finance a 195,000 mortgage from the bank with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 5.3

maksim [4K]

Calculate the monthly payment:

195,000 x ( (0.05/12)x1+0.053)^12)/(1+0.053)^12-1)

Monthly payment = 1,082.84

Multiply monthly payment by 12 to get one year: 1082.84x 12 = 12994.08

Now multiply by 30 years:

12994.08 x 30 = 389822.40

The answer is $389,822
