Answer:
$400
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for simple interest is i = p * r * t, where r is the annual interest rate as a decimal fraction, p is the principal and t is the time in years.
Here we want to determine what the principal was. Solving the above equation for p, we get:
i $64
p = --------- = -------------- = $400
r * t (0.08)(2)
Answer:
Error was at the fourth line: 12 = 16x
Correct solution: x = ½
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the equation step by step to find the correct solution, and also, to find out at which line Cam made a mistake.
10 - 2x = 19x + 2 - 5x (given)
10 - 2x = 19x - 5x + 2
10 - 2x = 14x + 2
Add 2x to both sides
10 - 2x + 2x = 14x + 2 + 2x
10 = 14x + 2x + 2
10 = 16x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides
10 - 2 = 16x + 2 - 2
8 = 16x (this is where Cam made an error, at the fourth line. He wrote: 12 = 16x. It seems Can only subtracted 2 from the right, then added 2 to the left. Subtraction property of equality was not properly done.)
Proceeding further with our calculation, we would divide both sides by 16
8/16 = 16x/16
½ = x
x = ½.
First You do 30.75 x 12 This is because he said every month for a year and a year has 12 months The answer to 30.75 x 12 is 369 Now all you have to do is 550 - 369 = 181.
Hope this helps :D
I think it’s a and c might be wrong though
