It is because the X is getting divided by 7.
Answer: 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 7.5%/100 = 0.075 per year,
then, solving our equation
I = 1200 × 0.075 × 2 = 180
I = $ 180.00
2^-2 = 1/2^2
so: (1/2^2)*(12*3)-5^3
simplify: (1/4)*36-125
36*(1/4) = 36/4 so: 9-125
subtract: -116
