Divide both sides by -3

If the absolute value of a number is 4, that number can either be 4 or -4: we have the two solutions


Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Flip your eq. x/3 + 6 = 18.
Solve (Number on one, variable on other)
+6 -6 = 0. 18-6=12.
Multiply.
12 * 3 = 36.
A(x) = P(1.02)^x
A(x) = P(1 + 0.02)^x
A(x) = P(1 + r)^x
Therefore rate of change = 0.02 = 2%
It would be 9, 9 1/2, 10, and 10 1/2. I think.
