t = 2/3. Multiply the numbers in the parentheses by -1. It becomes 9t + -3t + -3 = 1. Combine like terms to get 6t + -3 = 1. Add 3 to both sides to get 6t = 4. Divide both sides by 6. t = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to solving word problems is in translation: turning word into math
Below is a general approach to most/any word problem
1. Read through the whole question once, without lingering over details, to get some sense of the overall problem
2. identify and label the variables or unknowns in a way that makes it easy to remember what they stand for.
3. translate the problem into one or more equations, sentence by sentence, and be careful of the order in which you translate the terms
4. solve the equation(s)
5. check your work
The formula A=P(1+(r/n))^nt should be followed when answering
300=P
R=0.045
N=4
T=3
300(1+(0.045/4))^4x3
Answer is=343.102
The distributive property combines multiplication with addition and multiplication with subtraction together in order to simplify the equation. It is named as such because the number outside of the open and close parenthesis are distributed to the terms inside. Say for example, the equation given is 5(2x - 3). According to the distributive property, you distribute 5 by multiplying to each of the terms inside the parentheses. The solution would be: 5*2x + 5*-3 = 10x - 15. As you can see, it involved multiplication with addition and subtraction. Generally, you just have to add all the terms while making sure you carry the sign of the integer along when you multiply them just as shown in my example.
