-2(8p+2)-3(2-7p)-2(4+2p)=0
mutiply the first bracket by -2
(-2)(8p)= -16p
(-2)(+2)= -4
mutiply the second bracket by -3
(-3)(2)= -6
(-3)(-7p)= 21p
mutiply the third bracket by -2
(-2)(4)= -8
(-2)(+2p)= -4p
-16p-4-6+21p-8-4p= 0
-16p+21p-4p-4-6-8= 0 ( combine like terms)
5p-4p-4-6-8= 0
p-4-6-8= 0
p-10-8= 0
p-18= 0
move -18 to the other side to get p by itself
sign changes from -18 to +18
p-18+18= 0+18
p= 0+18
Answer: p= 18
Answer:
0.0138888888889 or
1/72
Step-by-step explanation: The answer can be found in Desmos
Larger because I want the points and you are going to get an F
The annual return percentages will be evaluated using the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=amount
P=principle
r=rate
n=time
a] A=$500, P=$400, n=1 years
500=400(1+r)^1
solving for r we shall obtain:
1.25=1+r
hence
r=1.25-1
r==0.25
annual rate of investment is 25%
b] A=2500+100=$2600, P=$ 2000, n=1 year
hence
2600=2000(1+r)^1
2600/2000=1+r
1.3=1+r
r=1.3-1
r=0.3
annual rate of investment is 30%
