Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording is confusing but I am going to guess it is 5(n+1)=2(n+7). So 5xn=5n and 5x1=5. 5n+5=2(n+7). Then 2xn=2n and 2x7=14. The question now stands 5n+5=2n+14. Then 5n+2n=7n and 14-5=9. So, you have 7n=9. Then you divide both sides by 7 and get n=1.2857...
So simple interest, you don't compound anything, you will always add 3% from $9500 and it will not change. The equation will look like this:
9500*[1+(0.03*8)]
giving us 9500*1.24 = $11,780
Answer:
a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-18 + 2a = 2(3a + 1)
Expand the bracket on the right
-18 + 2a = 2 x 3a + 2 x 1
-18 + 2a = 6a + 2
Add 18 to both sides
-18 + 18 + 2a = 6a + 2 + 18
2a = 6a + 20
Subtract 6a from both sides
2a - 6a = 6a - 6a + 20
-4a = 20
Divide both sides by -4
-4a/-4 = 20/-4
a = -5
