Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3 = -x + 12
subtract 3 from both sides
2x = - x + 9
add x to both sides
3x = 9
divide by 3
x = 3
Answer: the interest on the loan is $39.38
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I represents interest paid on the loan.
P represents the principal or amount taken as loan
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration of the loan in years.
From the information given,
P = $350
R = 4.5%
There are 12 months in a year. Converting 30 months into years, it becomes
30/12 = 2.5. so
T = 2.5 years
Therefore
I = (350 × 4.5 × 2.5)/100
I = $39.38
Answer: 26 13/30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The hall is in the shape of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is:
= 2(length + width)
= 2l + 2w
Since perimeter = 71 2/3 ft and Width = 9 2/5 ft wide, the length will be calculated thus:
Perimeter = 2l + 2w
71⅔ = 2l + 2(9 2/5)
71 2/3 = 2l + (2 × 47/5)
71 2/3 = 2l + 94/5
71 2/3 = 2l + 18 4/5
Collect like terms
2l = 71 2/3 - 18 4/5
2l = 71 10/15 - 18 12/15
2l = 52 13/15
l = (52 13/15 ÷ 2)
l = 793/15 × 1/2
l = 793/30
l = 26 13/30
Therefore, the length is 26 13/30ft
