The original value of x was negative, then –x, the opposite-signed version of x, would have to be positive. For instance, if I start with x = –3, then –x = –(–3) = +3, which is positive.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The line x originates from the center of the circle and forms a perpendicular line with line RS, which means that the line is bisected.
That means that line RT is half of line RS, or 7.
Then we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measure of x.



b = √32
b ≈ 5.66

Note:
Three-tenths reapeating is 
Simple interest doesn't compound, so we just find the interest she needs by dividing 4,000 by 8, and then divide that number by her principal to find the rate of interest.
4,000 ÷ 8 = 500
She needs 500 dollars per year in interest.
800 ÷ 14,100 = .0355 = 3.55%
Answer is B
Answer:
R = 450%/year
Equation:
r = (1/t)(A/P - 1)
Converting r decimal to R a percentage
R = 4.5 * 100 = 450%/year
