Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation: 2x+8=2x+6 --> 8=6
8 cant be equal to 6 so this equation is wrong and has no solution.
Answer:hey
Step-by-step explanation:
The number is multiplied by 3 every time
and next three terms are 1/324, 1/972 and 1/2916
good luck
This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
