What is the solution to this equation:<br> X+7=-8

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {x = -15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$ :

$x + 7 = -8$

-Subtract both sides by $7$ :

$x + 7 - 7 = -8 - 7$

$\boxed {x = -15}$

So, the value of $x$ is $-15$ .

If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in

monitta

$x = \frac{-11}{3}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Let's solve this :

2x - 8 = 5x + 3

⇒ $2x - 8 = 5x + 3$

⇒ $(2x - 8)-2x = (5x + 3)-2x$ { subtract 2x from both side }

⇒ $0 - 8 = 5x-2x + 3$

⇒ $- 8 = 3x + 3$

⇒ $- 8 -3= 3x + 3-3$ { subtract 3 from both sides }

⇒ $- 11 = 3x + 0$

⇒ $- 11 = 3x$

⇒ $\frac{-11}{3} = \frac{3}{3} x$ { divide 3 from both sides }

⇒ $x = \frac{-11}{3}$

1. You invest $2500 with annual interest rate of 4%. How much money will you have after 5 years?Use the following formula:A = P(

Yuki888 [10]

$ 3042

Explanation

we need to use the formula:

$\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t \\ \text{where} \\ \text{ P is the principal} \\ r\text{ is the rate ( in decimal)} \\ t\text{ is the time} \end{gathered}$

Step 1

a)let

$\begin{gathered} P=2500 \\ r=\text{ 4\% =}\frac{4}{100}=0.04 \\ r=0.04 \\ t=5\text{ ( years)} \end{gathered}$

b) now, replace

$\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t \\ A=2500(1+0.04)^5 \\ A=2500(1.04)^5 \\ A=2500(1.2166) \\ A=3041.63 \\ \text{rounded} \\ A=3042 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

$ 3042
