First, you gotta simplify. There’s really nothing to simplify so just take it out of the parenthesis.
2x-8=2x-4
Now turn the -8 into a +8. Add it on each side.
2x=2x+8
Now turn the 2x on the right into a negative. Do the same thing you did with the 8.
Now it’s:
0 = 8
That means there’s no solution.
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The account balance multiplier for the compound interest option is ...
(1 +r)^t = 1.05^8 ≈ 1.477455
The account balance multiplier for the simple interest option is ...
(1 +rt) = 1 +0.06·8 = 1.48
Jadwa should choose option 2 for this investment. It will earn about £5.09 more in interest over the 8-year period.
_____
£2000 · (1.48 -1.477455) ≈ £5.09
__
In the above formulas, r is the interest rate, and t is the number of years.
5.7n = 2.96-4.1
5.7n = -1.14
n= -1.14/5.7
n = -0.2
